Daver Arish Adil was charged with two counts of criminal trespass after allegedly entering the F1 Singapore Grand Prix event area without a valid ticket.

The Indian national is accused of committing the offences on Oct 9.

His case will be mentioned again in court on Oct 16.

SINGAPORE – A man who allegedly entered a Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix event area without a valid ticket was handed two charges of criminal trespass on Oct 10 .

According to court documents, Daver Arish Adil, 39, was at Gate 2 in Temasek Avenue when he purportedly gained access to a ticketed area at around 1.45pm on Oct 9.

The Indian national is accused of trespassing again at around 2pm that day, when he allegedly entered an area known as “the wharf” in Raffles Boulevard, which was accessible only to Singapore Grand Prix staff.

In an earlier statement, police said that Daver was one of two men who allegedly tried to enter an F1 Singapore Grand Prix event area in Temasek Avenue without valid tickets.

At the entrance, the other man, 35, was denied entry after his ticket was found to be invalid.

However, Daver purportedly managed to enter the event area despite having an invalid ticket.

Later, he allegedly gained unauthorised access to a restricted area meant for Grand Prix staff and performing artistes.

He was later located and detained within the event area, and police arrested him soon after.

Officers then arrested the younger man in Temasek Boulevard. Police said the pair are known to each other.

This was not the first case of trespassing during the annual event.

In December 2025, a Swedish national, then 23, was sentenced to four weeks’ jail after he pleaded guilty to two counts of criminal trespass.

He was a university student on an exchange programme here when he trespassed on the premises of the Singapore Grand Prix in October 2025.

A 17-year-old volunteer had allowed him through even though he did not have a ticket for the event.

The teenager had helped him sneak into the area out of pity, only for the man to tamper with a lock soon after and enter the exclusive Paddock Club.

The Swedish national then entered the pit lane area – a highly restricted operational zone where F1 vehicles, drivers and crew were situated during the race – but was caught soon after.

Details about the male volunteer cannot be disclosed as individuals below 18 years old are protected under the Children and Young Persons Act.

For each count of criminal trespass, an offender can be jailed for up to three months, fined up to $1,500, or both.

达维尔·阿里什·阿迪尔被控两项非法侵入罪，据称他没有有效门票就进入了新加坡一级方程式大奖赛的活动区域。

这名印度籍男子被指控于10月9日犯下这些罪行。

他的案件将于10月16日再次开庭审理。

新加坡——10月10日，一名男子因涉嫌在没有有效门票的情况下进入新加坡航空一级方程式新加坡大奖赛活动区域，被控两项非法侵入罪。

根据法庭文件，39 岁的 Daver Arish Adil 于 10 月 9 日下午 1 点 45 分左右在淡马锡大道 2 号门附近，涉嫌进入需要购票的区域。

这名印度籍男子被指控于当天下午 2 点左右再次擅闯禁地，据称他进入了莱佛士大道上被称为“码头”的区域，该区域仅供新加坡大奖赛工作人员进入。

警方早前曾表示，戴弗是两名涉嫌未持有效门票试图进入淡马锡大道新加坡一级方程式大奖赛活动区域的男子之一。

在入口处，另一名35岁的男子因门票无效而被拒绝入内。

然而，据称戴弗持无效门票进入了活动区域。

后来，他据称未经授权擅自进入了专为大奖赛工作人员和表演艺术家设立的限制区域。

他随后在活动区域​​内被找到并拘留，警方不久后将其逮捕。

随后，警方在淡马锡大道逮捕了这名年轻男子。警方表示，两人彼此认识。

这并非该年度活动期间发生的第一起擅闯事件。

2025 年 12 月，一名当时 23 岁的瑞典公民承认犯有两项非法侵入罪，被判处四周监禁。

2025年10月，他作为交换生来到新加坡，擅闯新加坡大奖赛场地。

一名17岁的志愿者放他进去了，尽管他没有活动的门票。

出于同情，这名少年帮助他偷偷溜进了那个区域，但不久之后，这名男子就撬开了一把锁，进入了高档的帕多克俱乐部。

随后，这名瑞典籍车手进入了维修区——这是一个高度限制的操作区域，F1 赛车、车手和工作人员在比赛期间都位于该区域——但很快就被抓住了。

由于《儿童和青少年法》保护未满 18 岁的个人，因此无法透露该男性志愿者的详细信息。

每项非法侵入罪名，违法者可被判处最高三个月监禁，最高罚款 1500 美元，或两者并罚。
