According to Kash Patel, Singh lied to authorities about her son’s whereabouts in March 2023 and fled to India. “In March of 2023, authorities in Everman, Texas conducted a welfare search for Singh’s child after he had not been seen since October 2022. Singh allegedly lied to authorities about his whereabouts, and then two days later, boarded a flight to India — and we believe has not been back to the United States since,” Kash Patel said.

Patel said that Singh was charged in October 2023 in the District Court of Tarrant County, Fort Worth, Texas, and in November, authorities issued a federal arrest warrant for the charge of Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution. Kash Patel lauded the efforts of the FBI and Indian law enforcement authorities that led to the arrest.

“This is the 4th “10 Most Wanted” fugitive arrested in the last 7 months. That’s a credit to tremendous field work, law enforcement partners, intelligence operatives, and an administration who is letting good cops do their jobs. Thanks to our local partners in Texas, where this case originated, The Justice Department, as well as partners in India for the coordinating. Dallas and New York FBI did tremendous work,” Patel said.
