Govinder Singh, a 28-year-old man from Leicester, has seen his prison sentence extended to 10 years after he drove his Volkswagen car into a crowd gathered outside a wedding in May last year, injuring three people seriously. Following a legal review, the Court of Appeal increased Singh's original sentence from seven-and-a-half years, emphasizing the severity of the crime and the impact on the victims.

The incident occurred when Singh's brother, who had been drinking heavily, arrived at the wedding uninvited and was ejected from the event. Reacting to the altercation that followed, Singh drove the car deliberately into the crowd before exiting the vehicle to engage in further violence. His actions not only endangered the lives of those present but also highlighted the gang-related tensions that can sometimes erupt in public gatherings.

Following the attack, Singh attempted to evade law enforcement by abandoning the vehicle and concealing the license plates. However, police were able to locate the car shortly thereafter. Singh pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including grievous bodily harm, which had significant implications for his legal standing and the length of his incarceration. The ruling to increase his sentence serves as a warning against similar violent acts and recognizes the harm caused to individuals in public settings.
