Mumbai: A court in Mumbai on Tuesday held a man guilty of an acid attack on Haryana girl Preeti Rathi in 2013.
Ankur Panwar, the accused, was found guilty of offences under Sections 302 (Punishment for murder) and 326 B (Punishment for attempted acid throwing) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
Rathi, whose family originally came from Haryana’s Rewari and lived in Bhakra Beas Management Board Colony in Delhi’s Narela, died of multiple organ failure in June 2013, a month after Panwar threw some acid.
Rathi had gone to Mumbai to take up a nursing position in a naval hospital, INHS Asvini, in Mumbai’s Colaba. The incident occurred as soon as she alighted a train at Mumbai's Bandra Terminus on May 2, 2013.
