Delhi Acid Attack Case Takes Dramatic Twist: Victim's Father Detained Amid Contradictory Evidence
Delhi Police detained the father of a woman who alleged an acid attack after investigations found inconsistencies in her complaint. CCTV footage, call records, and forensic evidence contradicted her claims, revealing the accused were elsewhere during the incident. The victim’s father reportedly orchestrated the false claim amid a family dispute involving harassment accusations and property conflicts. The case remains under further investigation.
A 19-year-old woman claimed she was attacked with acid by an acquaintance and his friends near Ashok Vihar while heading to college, prompting an FIR and public outrage. However, Delhi Police investigations uncovered major discrepancies: CCTV and call data placed the suspects away from the scene, and no acid traces were found. The woman reportedly applied toilet cleaner on herself, staging injuries. The victim’s father, previously absconding, was detained and confessed to fabricating the incident to frame the accused, motivated by a harassment complaint filed by the accused’s wife against him. There are complex inter-family disputes involved, including prior harassment allegations, an acid attack against the accused’s mother in 2018, and ongoing property conflicts. Police are probing the unusual circumstances, including why the victim was dropped short from college and the availability of witnesses, to verify all claims and pursue legal action accordingly.
