"At this very moment, I don't feel I will be able to handle what's coming": 17-year-old girl attacked with acid by two motorcycle-borne men at 7.30 am in Dwarka of the national capital, she has suffered 8% facial burns and her eyes have also been affected

NEW DELHI: A 17-year-old girl was allegedly attacked using some acid-like substance by two motorcycle-borne men around 7.30 am today in the national capital, an official said.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka) M Harsh Wardhan said they received a PCR (police control room) call around 9 am regarding the acid attack incident in Dwarka's Mohan Garden area.
"It was stated that a girl aged 17 years was allegedly attacked using some acid-like substance by two persons on a bike around 7:30 am this morning," the DCP said.

He said that the victim girl was with her younger sister at the time of the incident. "She has raised suspicion over two persons known to them. One person has been detained and further investigation is going on," the senior official said.
Meanwhile, the victim girl is currently receiving treatment at the Safdarjung hospital where her condition is said to be stable.
Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chairperson Swati Maliwal said it is a matter of extreme shame. "I fail to understand when will governments wake up. Why can't the government ban the retail sale of acid?" Maliwal said.
Notably, just two months back, Maliwal had issued a notice to the divisional commissioner of the Delhi government seeking action against those SDMs who have not been implementing rules to regulate the sale of acid.
