The girl had also suffered injuries to her eyes in the attack allegedly planned by her neighbour Sachin Arora.

"Her vision has not been affected. She is able to see and is talking," the uncle said, adding that it was "shocking" for them to learn about his (Arora's) involvement.

Three people -- prime accused Arora and his two friends Harshit Aggarwal (19) and Virender Singh (22) -- have been arrested.

As outrage spread over the attack, many also raised questions over the availability of acid in markets despite a ban.

Special Commissioner of Police, Law and Order, Sagar Preet Hooda had on Wednesday said that the acid used in the attack was procured through an e-commerce site and payment was made by Arora through an e-wallet.

In a statement, police said on the basis of technical evidence, it was found that the acid was procured from Flipkart, that has also been issued a notice by the police.

Flipkart said it strongly condemns the "unfortunate incident", and "our thoughts and prayers are with the victim and her family".

"The Flipkart marketplace closely monitors and delists products that violate expected standards. Strict action is taken against sellers who are found to be engaged in selling products that are illegal, unsafe, and prohibited. The concerned seller has been blacklisted, and we are extending all support to the authorities in their investigation,” the e-retailer said in a statement.
