     An Indian man Tuesday was awarded 18 weeks' jail term for his involvement in the Dec 8, 2013, riots in the city.
     
    Ravi Arun Vengatesh, 25, a quality control supervisor, became the 19th Indian to be convicted for the riots, the Straits Times reported.
     
    Vengatesh was convicted of obstructing a police officer who was trying to control last year's Little India riot.
     
    He admitted obstructing acting inspector Thinagaran S. Krishnasamy near a lane at Chander Road.
     
    The riots erupted after an Indian, Sakthivel Kumaravel, was run over by a bus.
     
    This was the worst outbreak of violence in the country in over four decades.
