A man has been jailed for seven years by a Delhi court for throwing acid at an elderly woman, her daughter-in-law and one-and-half-year-old grandson after trespassing in their house.
Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Kiran Bansal awarded the jail term to 44-year-old Punjab resident Amarjeet Singh for trespassing and causing grievous burn injuries to Ramrati, Kiran and Santy.
"In the present case, this fact cannot be lost sight of that the convict was having no enmity with victim and still caused grievous injury to the lady and also to the child of the age of one-and-a-half-year. Child was burned up to 28 per cent whereas other victim was burned up to the extent of 30 per cent and therefore, he deserves no leniency," the court said and also imposed a fine of Rs 50,000 on Singh.
