“Blessings always giving,” reads the inscription on an aluminum plate plastered on a wall outside the house of the 17-year-old girl who was attacked with acid in southwest Delhi’s Dwarka on December 14. Her family had moved into this three-room apartment nearly two years ago.
The house has been mostly locked for the last 24 hours as the family members are attending to the teenager at the burns ward of Safdarjung Hospital. The class 12 student was on her way to school when two bike-borne men threw acid on her, burning 18 percent of her body.
