According to the victim¡¯s mother, the girl was in a relationship with her son but he stopped talking to her a month ago. She claimed that the girl started pressuring him to get married and was harassing him by calling him on phone every day. She said that she called her son even Thursday morning and when he did not respond to her call, she threw acid on him, when he was standing at a shop near his house.
However, the girl alleged that the boy was threatening to make her intimate pictures with him viral on social media, if she did not marry him.

Jawahar Lal Nehru Medical College¡¯s Dr SS Zaidi said that the youth¡¯s eye was badly affected by the acid attack. He said that he still is under treatment.
This is not the first time such an incident has come to the fore. Earlier in June this year, police had arrested a 19-year-old woman who allegedly poured an acid-like substance on herself and her friend when they were on a bike on Vikaspuri area.

The police said the accused poured acid on the boy's face to "ensure he does not get out of their three-year relationship". However, she acted as if someone else poured the acid on both of them since she was also the victim of the crime.
Police said that initially they thought that the couple was attacked by a person known to both of the victims as both of them had suffered burn injuries, but the 24-year-old boy didn't suspect that it might his own girlfriend.
