When the arms dealer Sheppard, who has been Task Force 29's target for a while, contacts the Jinn and offers to sell them black-market weapons and augmentations for cheap, Salar tasks Singh to handle the buy. Singh arrives in Dubai, where the deal is to take place, and selects the abandoned Desert Jewel Resort Hotel as the site for the deal.

Singh sends a tip to the Interpol so that they can send a squad to intercept the deal and arrest Sheppard. The Task Force sends the Prague team including Adam Jensen.
The deal, going on in the abandoned Desert Jewel Resort Hotel in Dubai, is suddenly ambushed by gold-masked mercenaries, and Singh is caught in a heavy firefight between TF29 and the mercenaries. Jensen is tasked with protecting Singh. Depending Jensen's actions, Singh may or may not survive.

During M1: Black Market Buy, Jensen is given the secondary objectives of disabling a signal booster in the hotel and, later on, protecting Singh during the firefight in the atrium. 
If Singh survives the mission, the achievement Singh No Swan Song is unlocked, and he will later be found in the Task Force 29 HQ's Counterterrorism office, preparing to go back undercover with the Jinn. The plan is to transfer Singh to a TF29 black site prison, where he will stage a prison break along with the captured Jinn survivors. After Jensen later returns to TF29 HQ after Golem City, he can learn from MacReady that Singh is gathering intelligence in Basra with no success, regardless if he deactivated the jam the signal booster during that mission.
If Singh survived "Black Market Buy," his eventual fate depends on whether the signal booster was disabled. 
* If Jensen disabled the signal booster, then Singh will successfully reintegrate himself within the Jinn."Singh Status" (email) Additionally, during the third visit to Prague, Miller will provide a code to a storage unit used by the Jinn. 
* If Jensen did not disable the signal booster, Singh's reintegration with the Jinn will not be successfully. During the third visit to Prague, an email from Miller will report that Singh "was found in an alley with his throat cut and an old postcard from the Desert Jewel in his pocket.""Arun Singh: 1988-2029" (conditional email on Jensen's computer at the TF29 HQ)
