The CID issued a notice under Section 160 CrPC for Singh to appear before them on 12 November. However, the circumstances surrounding the notice have sparked controversy.

Adhikari pointed out a peculiar discrepancy: the notice, dated 5 November, was delivered a day earlier on 4 November, raising suspicions of procedural irregularities. Adhikari remarked with sarcasm that the CID must possess a "time machine" for such an anomaly to occur. He drew attention to what he believes is a politically motivated move, noting that the summons comes just a day before the by-election in Naihati, where Singh is a significant political figure in the Barrackpore region.
