Cops File Case 6 Months After In-Laws Allegedly Forced Delhi Woman To Drink Acid

The woman is currently undergoing treatment at a government hospital in the national capital, the Commission said.

The Delhi Commission For Women (DCW) on Thursday said a woman living in outer Delhi's Kirari area was allegedly forced to drink acid by her in-laws in January this year and the police failed to register a case in the matter for six months. The woman is currently undergoing treatment at a government hospital in the national capital, the Commission said. The matter came to the fore after the woman's brother called the DCW helpline 181 on July 20 and sought help. He told the women's rights body that no case was registered in the matter. "As soon as information about the matter was received, DCW chairperson Swati Maliwal and member Promila Gupta met the woman at the hospital. Her condition is critical and she has become very weak," the Delhi Commission For Women (DCW) said.
