A 17-year-old girl was attacked with acid by two bike-borne men in Delhi’s Dwarka area on Wednesday. The girl is currently undergoing treatment in Safdarjung Hospital.
The police have arrested three people in the case and found that the main accused had procured the acid through an e-commerce portal.
Calling the easy availability of acid online a matter of grave concern, the DCW sought a detailed action taken report from the two firms by December 20.
