The Singapore police have identified and are investigating a man for a criminal offence of harassment, after he was captured on camera yelling at a security guard over the Deepavali weekend that incited a nationwide outrage online.

In a two-paragraph statement released by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Wednesday night, Oct. 30, the man was named as 44-year-old Erramalli Ramesh.

He is, according to the MHA, a Singaporean who earned his citizenship on the sponsorship of his local-born Singaporean wife, under the Family Ties scheme.

The MHA said Erramalli is being investigated by police for an offence of intentionally causing harassment to a security officer at Eight Riversuites, the condominium he lives at.

Here's the MHA's full statement:

"The Police are investigating a report which was lodged against a 44-year-old man, Mr Erramalli Ramesh for an offence of intentionally causing harassment to a security officer who was deployed at Eight Riversuites condominium. The Police take a stern view towards any abusive behaviour against security officers who are carrying out their duties.

Mr Erramalli is married to a local-born Singapore Citizen. He obtained his Singapore Citizenship on the sponsorship of his wife, under the Family Ties scheme."
