A week after the incident, he remains nowhere to be found.
While he was being transferred from Arlon prison to undergo medical examinations in a hospital in the Liège region, Robin Singh managed to escape from the police vehicle he was in and flee on Wednesday 24 January.
On images from video surveillance cameras obtained by the Belgian media La Derniere Heure, we see the condemned man pass through the window of the rear door of the vehicle still moving, before fleeing barefoot and with his hands tied by handcuffs, at full speed. in the opposite direction.

Presumably surprised by the audacity of the 23-year-old inmate, the two police officers took a few seconds to get out of the vehicle to pursue him and were never able to catch up with him, although he was handcuffed.
Despite the arrival of police officers from the region, a federal police helicopter and a tracking dog, the man disappeared.

Convicted of prostitution of minors
Law enforcement still does not know if the escape was premeditated or if Robin Singh took advantage of an opportunity offered to him to flee.
The tracking dog having quickly lost track of the young man, it seems that he boarded a vehicle located not far away.
A week after this improbable escape, the young man is still in the wild and has even appeared on social networks to provoke the police.
Seeming proud of his feat, we see him laughing in front of an RTL Info television report devoted to him, showing a pair of handcuffs, probably the one with which he escaped.
In March 2022, the man from Seraing (Belgium) was sentenced to 10 years in prison before the Liège Court of Appeal for having prostituted girls aged 14 to 16 between November 2019 and December 2020. At the time, Robin Singh denied having participated in the prostitution of these minors, only admitting to having benefited from the income of one of them without ever having forced her into prostitution.
