Meanwhile, the Delhi Commission for Women has also issued a notice to the Delhi Police in connection with the acid attack and requested to arrest the accused persons as soon as possible.
“We have issued notice to Delhi Police to arrest the attackers & to give strict punishment to them. We're helping the victim & her family. But the biggest question here is why retail sale of acid isn't banned, even after several notices,” said, Chairperson, Delhi Commission for Women Swati Maliwal.
