Delhi Acid Attack Case Updates: An acid attack that wasn't. A 20-year-old woman claimed yesterday that she suffered burn injuries while trying to protect her face in an alleged acid attack by a man, who had been stalking her for days, and his two accomplices, while she was on her way to attend an extra class in the national capital. The incident sparked massive outrage. However, 24 hours later, the story has taken a 180-degree turn. The woman's father - Aqeel Khan - who was on the run, has now been caught by the Delhi Police. Khan has confessed to having fabricated the acid story to frame the three men. The woman had lied at the instance of her father, who wanted revenge against a harassment complaint filed by the wife of one of the accused. Khan revealed that the burn on her daughter's hands was from a toilet cleaner, not acid. He said that his daughter was carrying the toilet cleaner from home, which she poured on her hands. The Delhi Police is set to take legal action under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) against the woman and her father for plotting the fake story.
