Following a thorough investigation, Sharjah authorities released Chrisann Pereira, but she faced legal formalities that delayed her return to India. However, after completing the necessary procedures, the UAE authorities allowed her to return to Mumbai.

Upon her arrival, Chrisann Pereira is expected to meet with Mumbai Police Commissioner Vivek Phansalkar and other senior police officials to discuss the case. Her release from the UAE came after Mumbai police provided documents related to the case to the authorities in Sharjah.

During her detention in the UAE, Pereira faced an additional ordeal when two of the accused individuals, Anthony Paul and his friend Rajesh alias Ravi Bobhate, allegedly demanded Rs 80 lakh from her mother in exchange for securing her release.
