Delhi woman consumes acid over rejected marriage proposal

India Jul 02, 2025

A 19-year-old woman in Delhi is in critical condition after she attempted suicide by drinking acid.
She'd been in a seven-year relationship with Rehan, who allegedly lied about his identity, promised marriage but backed out, and reportedly pressured her into two abortions.
The heartbreak and betrayal left her hospitalized, with doctors unsure if she'll recover.

Woman's father filed police complaint

The woman's father filed a police complaint accusing Rehan of pretending to be someone else by wearing a "kalawa" and threatening the family with leaked videos.
Police have since arrested Rehan for cheating in marriage matters under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
