On Friday, Singh had appeared before the Thane nagar police. The questioning started at 10.30 and went on till 7 pm in the presence of DCP, Zone 1, Avinash Ambure, and members of the SIT team.

On October 26, 2021, R J Tambe, Chief Judicial Magistrate, Thane court, had issued a non-bailable warrant against Singh. On Friday, Singh also visited the Thane court along with his team of lawyers for an hour in the afternoon before returning to Thane nagar police station.

"After we appeared in the court, the NBW was cancelled. We informed the court that we intend to cooperate in the investigation in the near future,'' added Mokhashi.

The warrant had stated that Singh stands charged with offence committed under sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Arms Act.
