The case against Singh was registered in the Nawanshahr police station. Singh, during his tenure as Nawanshahr district development and panchayats officer, had given two decisions in a particular case on the same date. The matter was placed before the high court, which directed the police to register a criminal case against him.

Singh surrendered to the police a few days ago. A court in Nawanshahr remanded him to a day in police custody after which he was sent to judicial custody in the Central Jail in Ludhiana.
