Director General of Police (DGP) K. V. Rajendranath Reddy has said the Nellore police acted swiftly on the acid attack on a ninth class girl in the district. “The girl has been shifted to Chennai for providing better treatment,” the DGP said.
“Police collected the vaginal swabs of the victim and would be sent to Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) to ascertain whether the minor girl was sexually assaulted,” Rajendranath Reddy told The Hindu on September 6.
According to the information, the accused, who was suspected to be her relative, attacked with acid and slit her throat when she was alone at home. “Police are trying to arrest the accused in the case,” he said.
