SINGAPORE: An Indian-origin Man was hanged till death in Singapore on Wednesday on the charge of smuggling hemp.

It is worth mentioning here that Tangaraju's family appealed to the President not to hang him, but no response was received from the President. 46-year-old Tangaraju Suppiah was arrested in 2014 on charges of drug consumption and smuggling.
