The stalking and intimidation charges are level 6 felonies. The harassment charge is a Class B misdemeanor.

The case was filed Wednesday in Marion Superior Court 26. The charges are allegations and Singh has not been convicted in the case.

Prosecutors allege that between September 30, 2025 and June 2, 2026, Singh stalked Cunningham through a repeated course of harassment that caused her to feel “terrorized, intimidated, intimidated or threatened.”

Singh is also accused of communicating a threat to John Ball, vice president of security and event services for Pacers Sports & Entertainment, between June 1 and June 11. Prosecutors say the alleged threat was in retaliation for Ball sending Singh a cease-and-desist letter.

The probable cause statement 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 allegedly said the package was from his daughter and was meant 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 later began monitoring an X account that investigators say belonged to Singh.

Investigators say the account made several posts targeting Cunningham, including sexually explicit comments and references to Singh’s closeness to her.

One post included in the archive said: “You are literally down the street from me!” 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 only learned about Singh’s positions in February after Dana Harvey, the director of executive protection, alerted her because of the nature of the positions.

Cunningham said she read some of the messages and also learned about the package that was 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 made her stay home more often and have nightmares. Cunningham also told investigators she felt like she was always watching her back, didn’t feel safe and was afraid of Singh.

She said she has 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 posts.

The letter said Pacers Sports & Entertainment had become aware of “increasingly abusive, inappropriate and unwanted communications” against Cunningham. It ordered Singh to cease all communications with Cunningham or any other Indiana Fever player or employee.

It also informed Singh that he was barred from Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the Pacers Sports & Entertainment property and any Fever event or official team activity.

The positions continued after the letter was sent, prosecutors say.

Singh later called Ball’s office and said he understood the need to protect players but disagreed with the letter.

Ball told investigators that Singh’s posts became more hostile and threatening after that conversation.

Several June items included in the filing were directed at Ball. One reportedly said Ball wanted to see Singh reach out as well. Another said: “The pain is coming. I promise.”

Ball told investigators he believed Singh threatened him with physical harm.

Ball also said Singh made references to his wife and the county where he lives, which gave him concern. He said the situation led him to change some of his daily activities, start carrying a firearm and contact local law enforcement for extra patrols around his home.

Prosecutors requested a bond higher than the standard amount, citing Singh’s previous 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 house arrest and GPS monitoring be included as conditions of release.

A public case summary shows a judge found probable cause Wednesday and granted the state’s request for a larger-than-standard bond.

A Marion Superior Court employee confirmed to OutKick/Pakinomist Digital that Singh is being held for seven days beginning June 24. He then faces a $40,000 cash bond 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 preliminary hearing is scheduled for Thursday morning, June 25. The public case summary did not list a defense attorney for Singh as of Wednesday afternoon.

The allegations against Singh add to recent stalking cases involving high-profile women’s basketball players who now play in the WNBA.

Michael Lewis, a Texas man, was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison last year after pleading guilty to stalking and harassing Fever star Caitlin Clark. Authorities said Lewis sent Clark threatening and sexually explicit messages before he was arrested in Indianapolis.

Paige Bueckers, now a Dallas Wings guard, was also the target of a stalking case before entering the WNBA. Robert Cole Parmalee pleaded guilty in Connecticut to second-degree stalking after he was accused of harassing and threatening Bueckers while she played at UConn.

Parmalee received one year of probation and three years of probation. He was banned from being around the UConn team and WNBA facilities.
