NEW DELHI: A 17-year-old girl drank toilet cleaning acid after two men allegedly assaulted her and threatened to share a video of the assault online, police said Saturday.
The incident happened on November 23 while the girl was going to see her mother. One man assaulted her while the other recorded the incident, according to police.
They threatened to post the video online if she told anyone. On Friday, the girl drank the acid, fearing the video’s release, police said. Police registered a case based on the family’s complaint.
The accused are in custody and being questioned, said circle officer Deepak Chaturvedi. “The victim is undergoing treatment at a hospital in Bareilly and is reported to be out of danger.”
