Gohana, Haryana — Fresno County authorities are searching for Sumer Singh, a 41‑year‑old defendant who fled the United States after multiple court appearances and now faces active warrants in four separate criminal cases, according to Superior Court records.
Singh, born November 20, 1982, was charged in several felony and misdemeanor cases between 2024 and 2025, including vehicle theft, receiving stolen property, domestic violence, and contempt of court. Court documents show he was initially released on a $150,000 surety bond, but later failed to appear, triggering forfeiture of the bond and issuance of bench warrants.

A Pattern of Delays Followed by Flight
Felony Case F24903805 — Vehicle Theft, Receiving Stolen Property, and Contempt of Court
Singh was arrested on May 30, 2024, and charged with:

• VC 10851(a) — Unlawful taking or driving of a vehicle
• PC 496d(a) — Receiving stolen property (motor vehicle)
• PC 166(c)(1) — Contempt of court
  These charges are documented in the June 4, 2024 arraignment minutes, which confirm Singh entered not guilty pleas and was placed under a Criminal Protective Order.
  “Not Guilty plea entered as to count 001… Not Guilty plea entered as to count 002… Not Guilty plea entered as to count 003.”
  Over the next year, Singh repeatedly requested continuances through his attorneys. The court granted multiple delays, and Singh remained free on the surety bond.
  On July 21, 2025, Singh failed to appear for a scheduled hearing. The court immediately ordered:
  “Surety Bond Forfeited… Warrant Ordered Issued… Amount: $150,000.00.”
