Acid thrown on Mumbai girl; attacker held

Zeenews Bureau

Mumbai: Another girl became the target of acid attack in Mumbai on Tuesday. The incident occurred at Goregaon railway station at around 6:47 pm yesterday.

The girl, Aarti Thakur, was attacked by one Pintoo Sheikh. The attacker threw acid on her and fled. Aarti who sustained burn injuries was admitted to a private hospital. Doctors said she suffered 10 to 15 percent burns but was stable.

Pintoo was nabbed by the police this morning from by Borivali railway police. Police have filed a case of attempt to murder against him. Pintoo was produced before a Borivali court today and sent to police remand till February 7.

The police also disclosed a surprising fact – the girl had been attacked with acid on two previous occasions also. However, in those cases, the police could not nab the attackers.

There are other ways of cutting down the rates of this heinous crime that is to ban the sale of acids just like bangladesh has done that rascal should be chopped up into peices and thrown in acid

Acid attack is one of the most heinous crimes. It is very painful, almost equal to killing a person. All acid attackers should be punished with death penalty. Strong action from the government is required in this regard.

I agree with Mr. Makhija`s suggestion, with one alteration. The acid thrower should be forced to dip first the hands and then the legs (one by one) over a period of time - 2 days, let us say. Let him suffer the sgony he put the lady through. A slow torture here may be a deterrant for future.
