A Federal Court judge in Ottawa has cancelled an order that would have released Singh, an accused murderer and international fugitive whose alleged links to India’s Bishnoi gang have raised security concerns. The ruling affects his status while immigration proceedings continue.

The judge found the release conditions unreasonable, saying they did not adequately address concerns that Singh could flee or pose a danger to the Canadian public. Those concerns were central to the court’s decision to overturn the order.

The case involves both criminal allegations and immigration proceedings. The court’s decision means the earlier release arrangement will not remain in place while authorities address the outstanding issues surrounding Singh’s detention and alleged gang connections.
