Crime News: People are still not able to believe that the recent Delhi acid attack was a fake incident, which was cooked up by a daughter-father duo to frame a family over a dispute. The case is conscience-shaking because soon after the news broke out, people started reacting and demanding justice for the girl and shaming the accused and their families.

How Did The Case Take A Shocking Turn?

On Sunday morning, a 20-year-old second-year BCom student enrolled in DU's Non-Collegiate Women's Education Board alleged that she had been attacked with acid by three men. She named the three as Jitender and his two accomplices, Ishan and Arman. However, during the probe, the Delhi Police said the girl and her father staged the crime. According to police, girl's father wanted revenge against a rape complaint. Akil Khan, the student's father, was nabbed on Monday for allegedly fabricating the acid attack with a toilet cleaner, and raping the wife of the man his daughter accused of throwing "acid" at her.

Police had earlier found discrepancies in the student's statement and Jitender's location away from the crime spot. In a statement, police said that Jitender's wife had earlier accused the alleged victim's father, Akil Khan, of rape. The matter was reported at the Bhalswa Dairy Police Station, but no written complaint was filed. The woman alleged that between 2021 and 2024, she worked in Akil Khan's socks factory, where Khan sexually assaulted her and blackmailed her with her private photos and videos.

Acid Attack In 2018?

Also, Ishan and Arman, both distant relatives of the victim, the police said, are in Agra with their mother, Shabnam, a resident of Mangolpuri. According to the police, in 2018, Shabnam too accused Akil Khan of rape. That matter is still sub judice. It emerged that a long-standing dispute over a property in outer Delhi's Mangolpuri exists between the two families, the police said. The same year, Shabnam alleged an acid attack by Khan and got an FIR filed at the Mangolpuri Police Station.
