In Hapur, Uttar Pradesh, a man allegedly threw acid on his former fiancée and her sister following the cancellation of their wedding, resulting in serious injuries for both women, according to police. The accused, identified as Harsh Bhati, a resident of Awas Vikas Colony in Hapur, was apprehended by the victims' family members and promptly handed over to the police.
The father of the victims revealed that the couple's marriage had been arranged with Bhati; however, the family ultimately called off the alliance upon discovering that he had a history of drug addiction. The family alleged in their complaint that Bhati arrived at the young woman's residence on Saturday night carrying acid, which he allegedly hurled at her upon her opening the door.
When her sister attempted to intervene, Bhati is said to have thrown acid at her as well. Upon hearing their cries for help, family members managed to catch Bhati before he could flee the scene. Police personnel from the Simbhawali police station arrived at the location and took Bhati into custody. The two sisters have been admitted to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Circle Officer Rahul Yadav confirmed that a case has been registered based on the complaint filed by the victims' family, and the accused is currently under interrogation.
