Prosecutors allege that Singh stalked Cunningham between September 30, 2025 and June 2, 2026, in a pattern of repeated harassment that caused her to feel “terrorized, frightened, intimidated or threatened.”
Singh is also accused of communicating a threat to John Ball, vice president of security and events services at Pacers Sports & Entertainment, between June 1 and 11. Prosecutors say the alleged threat was retaliation for Ball sending Singh a cease and desist letter.

The probable cause affidavit lays out a timeline that began on September 30, 2025, when Singh allegedly hand-delivered a package addressed to “Sophie” at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Security cameras captured Singh entering the arena and leaving the package with a security guard. Singh reportedly said the package came from his daughter and was intended for a player.
The package contained a Guns N’ Roses T-shirt sprayed with men’s cologne and a letter addressed to Cunningham. The letter thanked Cunningham for “a very special season” and was signed with a variation of the name linked to Singh’s X account, investigators said.
Pacers Sports & Entertainment then began monitoring an X account that investigators believed belonged to Singh.
Investigators say the account posted several messages directed at Cunningham, including sexually explicit comments and references to Singh’s closeness to her.
A message included in the filing read: “You are literally steps from my house! » Another allegedly referenced a building visible in the background of one of Cunningham’s posts and suggested her building was safe.

Lt. Darren Stonehouse of the Marion County Sheriff’s Office interviewed Cunningham on Monday.
Cunningham told investigators she first learned of Singh’s messages in February after Dana Harvey, the executive protection director, warned her because of the nature of the messages.
Cunningham said she read some of the messages and also learned about the package delivered to Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
At first, Cunningham told investigators she thought Singh was another person posting disturbing things online.
But she said the continued posts caused her to stay home more often and have nightmares. Cunningham also told investigators that she felt like they were always watching her, that she didn’t feel safe and that she was afraid of Singh.
She said she had never met Singh, never responded to his social media posts and wanted the posts to stop.
Ball sent Singh a cease and desist letter on April 30 due to the number and nature of the messages.

The letter stated that Pacers Sports & Entertainment had become aware of “increasingly distracting, inappropriate and unwanted communications” toward Cunningham. He ordered Singh to stop any communication with Cunningham or any other Indiana Fever players or employees.
He also informed Singh that he had been banned from Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Pacers Sports & Entertainment property and any Fever events or official team activities.
The messages continued after the letter was sent, according to prosecutors.

Singh then called Ball’s office and said he understood the need to protect players, but disagreed with the letter.
Ball told investigators that Singh’s messages became more hostile and threatening after that conversation.
Several messages from June included in the filing were directed to Ball. One of them reportedly said that Ball was going to see that Singh could also reach out. Another said: “Pain happens. I promise.
Ball told investigators he believed Singh was threatening him with physical harm.
Ball also said Singh made references to his wife and the county where he lives, which concerned him. He said the situation caused him to change some of his daily activities, start carrying a gun and contact local law enforcement for additional patrols around his home.
Prosecutors requested bail higher than the standard amount, citing Singh’s prior convictions for stalking, intimidation and invasion of privacy. The state also said Singh was on probation in Hendricks County for two invasion of privacy convictions when the alleged conduct occurred.
The state requested that home detention and GPS monitoring be included among the conditions of release.
A public summary of the case shows a magistrate judge found probable cause Wednesday and granted the state’s request for higher than standard bail.
A Marion Superior Court staff member confirmed to OutKick/PK Press Club Digital that Singh is being held for seven days beginning June 24. After that, he faces $40,000 cash bail with home detention and GPS monitoring with exclusion zone monitoring.

A court order signed June 24 also bars Singh from Gainbridge Fieldhouse until the case is resolved or the order is vacated by the court. A no-contact order was also issued.
Singh’s initial hearing is scheduled for Thursday morning, June 25. The public summary of the case did not list a defense attorney for Singh as of Wednesday afternoon.
The allegations against Singh add to recent harassment cases involving high-profile female basketball players who now play in the WNBA.
Michael Lewis, a Texas man, was sentenced last year to 2 1/2 years in prison after pleading guilty to stalking and harassing Fever star Caitlin Clark. Authorities said Lewis sent Clark threatening and sexually explicit messages before his arrest in Indianapolis.

Paige Bueckers, now a guard for the Dallas Wings, was also the target of a stalking case before entering the WNBA. Robert Cole Parmalee pleaded guilty in Connecticut to second-degree stalking after being accused of harassing and threatening Bueckers while she played at UConn.
Parmalee received a one-year suspended sentence and three years of probation. He was prohibited from being around the UConn team and WNBA facilities.
