Twenty-four people allegedly involved in last Sunday's riot in Little India have been brought to court to face charges on Tuesday morning.

The police said two more people have been released after investigations showed they were not involved in the riot.

The other two are an Indian national and a Singapore permanent resident. This means those who are likely to face charges of rioting are all Indian nationals.

The police had earlier rounded up 28 people, but found that two Bangladeshis in the group were not involved in the riot.

The case has been adjourned to 2.30pm.

More details to come.
