"In total, eight officers, including Lim, were involved. Pepper spray was also used. ST headlined this as “Fierce struggle lasted about 30 minutes’’. Everything gets more muddled when compared with what Zaobao reported. While the English-language papers said Lim returned to check on the inmate after a “minute or two’’, “minutes’’ or “shortly after” Dinesh was put in the cell, Zaobao said he took 30 minutes. It also reported Lim’s lawyer as saying that the officer was unable to pay attention to Dinesh’s condition because “according to protocol, he went to get water to clean Dinesh’’. Makes you wonder if all the reporters were in the same courtroom! Muddled reporting aside, the picture emerges that Dinesh was already unresponsive (does this mean unconscious?) with eyes opened (!) even after he had pepper spray washed away from his face/eyes. How come? Was he knocked out so hard somehow that he didn’t even roll over when he found he couldn’t breathe?" breakfastnetwork.sg/?p=6377
