Police have arrested three accused for the Srinagar incident
Kashmir witnessed public outrage on Wednesday over the acid attack on a 24-year-old woman in Srinagar, even as the police arrested three persons, including the main accused, in the incident.
The Jammu and Kashmir police said they had arrested three accused and sealed a shop for illegal sale of acid. After the preliminary investigation and technical analysis, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) led by Superintendent of Police Raja Zuhaib said the victim, who is from Srinagar’s Eidgah area, had rejected the engagement proposal of the accused who started stalking her. “The accused [also from Srinagar] used to work in a medical shop.
On February 1, he took break from work and went on a two-wheeler to the place where the woman used to work. As the victim was heading back home late in the evening, acid was thrown on her,” the police said.According to hospital sources, the victim’s face and an eye were affected.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
