After coming under suspicion, he was placed under surveillance and his phone conversations were tapped, but on May 14, 2004, he disappeared. He is suspected of having escaped to the U.S. via Nepal. Recently, in an affidavit submitted to the court, R&AW deposed that Singh has been traced to New Jersey.
