Cindy Rodriguez Singh, a woman from Texas wanted on state charges of killing her six-year-old son, has been arrested from India by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), director Kash Patel said on Thursday. The arrest took place after a coordinated operation between the US law enforcement and Indian authorities.

Singh was one among the Top 10 Most Wanted Fugitives in the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s list.

FBI, in coordination with Indian authorities and INTERPOL, arrested Cindy Rodriguez Singh in India. She has been transported to the United States. The FBI will hand her over to the Texas authorities, Fox News reported.

Singh faces charges in Texas for allegedly murdering her son, Noel Alvarez, authorities said.

Singh was wanted on state charges of killing her six-year-old son. She will face charges of Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution and Capital Murder of a person under 10 years of age, FBI director Kash Patel said in a post on X.

“FBI has arrested another Top 10 Most Wanted Fugitive: Cindy Rodriguez Singh. Singh is wanted on state charges of killing her six-year-old son. She will face charges of Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution and Capital Murder of a person under 10 years of age," FBI Director Patel said.

According to Patel, Singh lied to authorities about her son’s whereabouts in March 2023 and fled to India.

“In March of 2023, authorities in Everman, Texas conducted a welfare search for Singh’s child after he had not been seen since October 2022. Singh allegedly lied to authorities about his whereabouts, and then two days later, boarded a flight to India — and we believe has not been back to the United States since," Patel added.

Patel said that Singh was charged in October 2023 in the District Court of Tarrant County, Fort Worth, Texas, and in November, authorities issued a federal arrest warrant for the charge of Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution.

Kash Patel lauded the efforts of the FBI and Indian law enforcement authorities that led to the arrest.
