In a shocking incident, a man was allegedly subjected to an acid attack by his neighbor in Jain Bazar on Saturday night. The victim, identified as Sahil Verma, was rushed to the hospital with burn injuries.
According to Sahil’s family members, the attack was fueled by a long-standing feud between the two families. They alleged that the assailant targeted Sahil while he was out to fetch medicine for his ailing mother late at night.
“We received a call informing us about Sahil’s hospitalization,” said a distressed family member. “Thankfully, he was wearing a helmet at the time, which prevented severe facial injuries, but his neck and other parts of his body were burnt in the attack.” The incident has sparked outrage and concern among the local community, with many demanding swift action against the perpetrator.
SP City North, Shivam Sidharath, acknowledged the gravity of the situation and stated that an investigation is currently underway. “We are thoroughly examining the case, but the CCTV footage has not yielded conclusive evidence yet,” Sidharath told Media.
Acid attacks are a heinous form of violence that can have devastating and life-altering consequences for the victims. The incident has once again highlighted the need for stricter laws and enforcement measures to combat such heinous crimes. Local authorities have assured that they are leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to apprehend the perpetrator and bring them to justice. Meanwhile, Sahil’s family and well-wishers await updates on his condition, hoping for a speedy recovery. The incident serves as a grim reminder of the need for increased awareness and vigilance against such acts of violence in our society.
