Fake assault: women father threw acid, say police

The father of the Delhi University pupil had “thrown the acid on his daughter”, the Delhi police stated on Tuesday, including that the complete acid assault incident was “staged”.

The 20-year-old pupil’s father was arrested on Monday on prices of orchestrating the incident.

“The pupil’s father was on the pillion seat of the bike ridden by her brother when he threw bathroom cleaner at his daughter, after which fled from the spot,” stated a senior officer.

The pupil had accused Jitender, Ishan, and Arman of “throwing acid on her” on October 26 when she was on her option to faculty for an additional class.

However, throughout the preliminary probe, the police realized that the conspiracy was hatched to implicate Mr. Jitender, whose spouse had filed a grievance of sexual assault and harassment in opposition to the coed’s father, and Mr. Ishan and Mr. Arman, whose mom had filed an acid assault case in opposition to the coed’s father in 2018.

“During interrogation, the coed stated that her father requested for her assist when he didn’t persuade Jitender’s spouse to drop the sexual assault grievance,” stated the officer. The police are in search of the coed’s relative, who was allegedly concerned within the assault.
