Acid Attack in Gurugram: Government schoolboy throws chemical on classmate’s face while cleaning toilet

In a heart-wrenching incident has come to light from Gurugram where a class 8th student at a government school suffered severe injuries on his face and parts of the body after his classmate threw acid on his face.

The strange event happened in Dhankot village of Gurugram, where a boy threw the acid while a group of students was cleaning the toilet of the school on the orders of the teachers.

"We were cleaning the toilet upon being ordered by the teacher. One of the students who was cleaning the windows called me and dropped some chemicals on my face," the victim told reporters in Gurugram.

The victim’s parents have alleged that the school administration tried to close the matter by giving thousand rupees to them.

"The teacher gave me Rs 1000 and told me to buy fruits and medicines in a bid to suppress the matter," the victim's father said.

However, the school administration has denied any foul play and said there was no motive behind this act.

“The child is safe now and the incident happened without any mala fide intention,” Amit Khatri, District Deputy Commissioner told reporters in Gurugram.

The villagers of Dhankot gathered in front of the school to show their anger against the school and raised slogans against the school management, demanding action on Friday.
