00:00A mother accused of killing her own child, one of the FBI's 10 most wanted fugitives

00:04has finally been caught in India.

00:06The FBI has captured and arrested Cindy Singh, a wanted fugitive in the United States for

00:10the capital murder of her 6-year-old son Noel Arvarez, an unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.

00:16She allegedly fled the United States in March 2023 to evade trial in her son's death.

00:20On October 3, 2024, an Interpol Red Notice for Cindy Singh was issued and circulated to

00:26all member countries including India.

00:28At the same time, an extradition packet was submitted to Indian authorities, paving the

00:32way for her arrest.

00:33The case first came to light on March 2023, when the Everman Police Department in Texas

00:38conducted a welfare check on Cindy's son Noel.

00:40The child had not been seen since October 2022.

00:43Officials reported that Noel suffered from multiple health and developmental issues including

00:47a severe developmental disorder, social disorder, chronic lung disease, pulmonary edema, bone

00:53density problems and estropia.

00:55During the welfare check, investigators alleged Cindy misled the authorities, claiming that

00:59her son was in Mexico with his biological father since November 2022.

01:03Just two days later, on March 22, 2023, Cindy, her husband and six other children boarded an

01:08international flight to India.

01:11Investigators later confirmed that Noel was not on the flight, contradicting her claims.

01:15In August 20, 2025, the FBI, working in coordination with Indian authorities and Interpol, successfully

01:21apprehended Cindy.

01:22FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed she has been transported back to the United States and will

01:26be handed over to Texas officials to face charges.
