A family friend of Mr Singh said he was recuperating at a friend's home in Abu Dhabi and is expected to leave the UAE in the next couple of days.

"His condition is stable now," said Ajit Prasad. "He will leave in the next couple of days. It depends on his health. And instead of Singapore, he is going back to Delhi. After taking rest, he will travel from Delhi to Singapore."
