Awarding capital punishment to Preeti Rathi's killer, special court judge declares Ankur Panwar is incapable of reform

The man who threw acid at 23-year-old Preeti Rathi at a station in Mumbai, causing injuries that killed her, must be hanged, a court ruled today.

Preeti Rathi's parents have finally got justice for her tragic death in 2013, when her neighbour Ankur Panwar (25) flung acid on her just as she was stepping off a train at Bandra Terminus.

"It's been a long and painstaking wait for justice, and finally there is some good news. I saw my daughter dying in pain before my eyes. Panwar should also suffer. He should be hanged for what he has done," said her father, Amar Singh Rathi.

A young woman who moved to Mumbai to work as a nurse in the navy was murdered by an acid attack inflicted by her jealous neighbour, a court has ruled today.
