However, attorney at law Shaira Bommel who was retained by the bereaved family said the police and prosecutor was making a mistake since flare guns are not listed in the fire arm ordinance. She said that even if the police and prosecutor considered a flare gun to be a weapon it is not prohibited for someone to have it at their home. Attorney at law Bommel met with Singh at the police station on Saturday evening and early Sunday morning. The public prosecutor also met with the father on Sunday morning due to sad and tragic circumstances in which he lost his only daughter. Shortly after the meeting, Singh was released and taken home by the prosecutor.
However, the body of little Anjali remains confiscated as the police continues their investigation.
Anjali was shot by her seven year old brother Rahul with a flare gun while she was sleeping. Police questioned young Rahul and his mother on Saturday evening while they kept the father in custody. At the time of the accident, Nandrai "Avinnash" Singh was working at the Bobby's Marina Boat yard when he was called by his wife who informed him of the tragic incident involving their two minor children.
