Web of Deceit: The Fake Acid Attack Scandal in Delhi

The Delhi Police have uncovered a fabricated acid attack incident orchestrated by a college student's family, aiming to falsely accuse others due to a property dispute and a past rape accusation. The father, who has a history of criminal offenses, executed the hoax with the help of her brother and uncle.

The Delhi Police have arrested the brother and uncle of a 20-year-old student for fabricating an acid attack story in northwest Delhi's Ashok Vihar.

Identified as Wakeel, 42, and the student's brother, they attempted to falsely implicate others due to a family dispute. Her father, Akil Khan, already in custody for rape allegations, executed the plan.

A forensic investigation revealed no acid traces, leading to the family's arrest. The student initially claimed her attackers were associates unrelated to her family, raising suspicions which police confirmed via CCTV footage.
