After a 17-year-old girl from Brazil filed a complaint with the Dubai police accusing  Mika Singh of allegedly harassing her by sending her 'indecent' photos, the singer was arrested in UAE on Thursday. 

However, update on the same is that Mika Singh has been released.

The singer was released on Thursday night following the intervention of the Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi, Navdeep Singh Suri, the Indian Ambassador to the UAE, told Gulf News.

Suri said the singer is expected to appear in a court on Friday.

The envoy added though Mika was arrested in Dubai, the police took him to Abu Dhabi as the complainant was holding an Abu Dhabi residence visa.
