Delhi University acid attack case: Student's father planned hoax
Turns out, the recent acid attack on a Delhi University student was completely staged.
Jitender, who was blamed at first, was found innocent after CCTV footage showed he wasn't anywhere near the scene.
Police later discovered that the student's father, Akil Khan, actually planned the fake attack.
Father set up hoax to get back at Jitender
Khan admitted he set up the hoax to get back at Jitender for a previous rape allegation made by Jitender's wife.
The student reportedly used toilet cleaner to fake injuries and tried to gain public sympathy.
This whole situation is tied to ongoing family disputes over property and assault claims dating back years.
Police have warned that making false accusations—especially about something as serious as an acid attack—can lead to strict punishment under the law.
