"Singh has been released by the Dubai authorities on Monday after due process of the law. Two of his colleagues were also honourably released on the same day," the statement said.
The statement quoted Singh's counsel Ali Abdullah Al Shamsi in Dubai as saying, "The case against my three clients has been closed, all their charges have been withdrawn and they are free. They are free to travel to Dubai as per their needs and continue with their UAE business interests."
