Srinagar acid attack case: Court frames charges against two accused

Seven weeks after a woman was attacked with acid in downtown Srinagar, a local court has framed charges against two persons, with the victim's family hoping they will be given severe punishment.

Principal Sessions Judge Jawad Ahmad on Saturday framed charges under sections 120-B (criminal conspiracy) and 326-A (voluntarily causing grievous hurt by use of acid) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) against the two accused — Sajjad Altaf Rather (main accused) and Mohammed Saleem Kumar.

The trial will start from March 30, police said.
