Acid attack survivors protest near PHQ, demand action against SHO of Parl Street
They demanded that the authorities must look into the role of the concerned Station House Officer (SHO) of Parliament Street police station, who ordered lathi-charge and detained the protestors on Thursday. The acid attack victims were protesting near Parliament on Thursday demanding implementation of the Supreme Court order to impose certain restrictions on the counter-sale of acids. “Our slogans were falling on deaf ears so we decided to make our presence felt to the legislators on Thursday,” said a campaigner.
On Friday afternoon, the protestors adopted a unique way to voice their dissent. Taking a cue from the Bollywood blockbuster movie Munnabhai MBBS, the protestors placed several dozens of flower bouquets at the Delhi Police Headquarter’s gate with ‘Get Well Soon’ notes.
In another case, three people, including a teenager, were arrested here for acid attack on a woman and her nine-year-old daughter, police said on Friday. Raja, 30, from Bihar’s Muzaffarpur; Azad alias Ismail, 18, from Uttar Pradesh’s Bijnor and Arif, 28, from Uttar Pradesh’s Shamli have been arrested for the attack, police said.
The woman, 27 and her daughter were staying in Dharam Colony here.
The victim has registered a complaint that a boy came to her house around 1.30 pm on December 15 and said he was a plumber. “He (the boy) came back after about 30 minutes and forcefully entered into my house and threw acid on me. I and my nine-year-old daughter, who was standing near me, got injured,” the victim said.
