One account says the court cancelled his bail, while another says it ordered him to surrender without clearly stating that his bail was cancelled.
The court also directed Bihar Police to complete the investigation within four months and scheduled another hearing after that period.
The case remains under investigation, and Singh must meet the surrender deadline.
