The Delhi acid attack case has taken a startling turn with a new complaint filed by the wife of an accused. She has accused the father of the victim of sexual harassment. This complaint has reportedly been submitted to the police, but it is yet to be registered as a First Information Report (FIR).
This accusation surfaces after a 20-year-old Delhi University student was hospitalized following an acid attack. The student, who was attacked outside Laxmi Bai College in Ashok Vihar, managed to protect her face with her bag and phone, though her phone was destroyed by the acid. She recounted the terrifying ordeal, stating that she was saved by an passerby who took her to the hospital and contacted her parents.
The accused and his two companions managed to flee the scene immediately after the attack. Police reports indicate that the accused had a history of harassing and stalking the victim, having had prior confrontations with her due to her rejection of his advances.
