A 14-year-old girl was attacked with acid and knife allegedly by her relative after she resisted his attempt to sexually assault her, at Venkatachalam on the city outskirts.
Nellore Rural Deputy Superintendent of police Y. Harinatha Reddy told the media here on Tuesday that the girl, studying in Class 9, was alone at her home on Monday when the assailant, in an “inebriated condition,” stormed into the house and attacked her.
“He attacked the girl with acid and slit her throat with a knife when she offered resistance to his sexual overtures,” Mr. Harinatha Reddy said. “The case is being thoroughly investigated from all angles,” he said.
