A shocking incident

Janata Dal (United) MLA Abhay Singh posed for photographers with his three-year old daughter outside Bihar Assembly in Patna on February 23, 2010. Abhay Singh seemed to be in a happy mood.
Just three days later, JD(U) MLA Abhay Singh shot dead his wife and infant daughter before allegedly committing suicide by turning the gun on himself at the official residence of his father and Food and Civil Supplies Minister Narendra Singh in Patna on February 26, 2010.

Narendra Singh, who was sleeping in another room, was found lying unconscious and has been admitted to the ICCU of Patna Medical College and Hospital.
The 34-year-old Singh, who was elected from Jamui, shot his 6-month-old daughter and wife dead before shooting himself during a quarrel, it is reported.
Abhay Singh's 3-year-old elder daughter was with her grandmother in another room at the time of the incident.
