Delhi Father Accused of Staging Daughter's Acid Attack for Revenge
A young woman in Delhi told the police that three men attacked her with acid near her college.
However, the police investigated and found that the story didn't add up.
They discovered that the three men accused were not even there when the supposed attack happened.
The police then arrested the young woman's father.
He confessed that he was the one who hurt his daughter, using a cleaning product, not acid.
The father did this because he wanted revenge on one of the accused men.
This man's wife had previously filed a complaint against the father.
The father was trying to get back at them by making it look like they attacked his daughter.
The police confirmed that the accused men were innocent and had alibis.
Delhi Police state none of the three initially accused individuals were present at the scene of the alleged acid attack.
The alleged acid attack on a Delhi University student was revealed to be staged by her father, Akil.

The motive was to falsely implicate Jitender, whose wife had previously filed a complaint against the father.
CCTV footage and alibis confirmed the innocence of the three men initially accused.
