In a shocking turn of events, a young college student in Delhi is at the center of a family-devised scheme that involved her faking an acid attack. The attack was allegedly orchestrated by her father, who wanted to retaliate against a rape allegation made against him.

The woman's assertion that she was attacked by three men near Ashok Vihar quickly fell apart as investigations uncovered glaring inconsistencies. Police found no evidence of acid at the scene, nor any trace of the alleged attackers on CCTV footage.

Subsequent forensic analysis revealed the substance involved was a toilet cleaner rather than acid. Her father, Akil Khan, has been arrested after admitting to the plot, which was contrived as an act of revenge. Investigations are ongoing.
