According to police, Singh was arrested during an intelligence-led operation after investigators received information that he was allegedly making arrangements to have a man kidnapped.

Police said the operation was carried out by undercover ranks, during which Singh allegedly made arrangements for the kidnapping of a male before he was arrested at the scene and taken into custody.

The matter has been adjourned, while police investigations continue.
