Kanpur Man Gets 10-Year Sentence for 2001 Acid Attack
Imagine a long time ago, in 2001, a man named Manoj got into a fight with a woman named Droupadi.
The fight started because Manoj was angry at Droupadi's daughter.
Later, Manoj came back and threw acid on Droupadi, hurting her badly.
Sadly, Droupadi passed away because of her injuries.
The police investigated and found Manoj guilty of what is called unintentional murder, and he was sentenced to ten years in jail.
