The court heard that Khan, who was remanded at Changi Prison, left the facility with his elder brother at around 2pm on Monday and met his fiancée to buy some clothes for the wedding that afternoon.
However, at around 7pm, Khan entered a mosque in Yishun alone while his fiancée waited outside. But an hour later, he could not be found even after his brother searched the mosque premises.
District Judge John Ng issued a warrant of arrest for Khan and ordered his elder brother to show cause on 6 September why the bail should not be forfeited.
