NCW directs UP DGP to apprise it of acid attack on woman in Ghaziabad

New Delhi: The National Commission for Women has directed the Uttar Pradesh DGP to apprise it of the investigation into an acid attack on a woman in Ghaziabad, an official said.
The NCW also expressed concern about the incidents of acid attacks, despite the Supreme Court's ban on the unregulated sale of the corrosive substance in 2013.
Furthermore, acid attack is recognized as an offence under IPC. The NCW cited a report, according to which a 32-year-old woman suffered severe injuries after acid was thrown on her by two unidentified men on a motorcycle in Ghaziabad on Monday evening.
The police said the woman suffered nearly 40 per cent burns on different parts of her body and may be referred to a hospital in Delhi for better treatment.
They said the woman is a dietician and was returning home around 4.30 pm on her scooter after dropping her children to a tuition class.
