Woman calls for man who threw acid over her to be executed (Photos)
A beautician in India who has been left with acid burns to her face and
body wants her attacker to be executed as she fears she will be scarred
for life.
The 26-year-old Tandra Makal on February 13, was on a train traveling
from Baruipur railway station to Kalyanpur after work when a man wearing
a black mask climbed up onto the side of the train and attacked her
with acid.
In shock, Tandra screamed and ran around the carriage in pain before the
train was stopped. She was rushed to a local government hospital,
alongside other people who were also burnt by the acid.
After the incident was reported, police launched a manhunt and arrested
the suspect, Swarup Halder, a local real estate developer.
Officer Krishna Gopal Malakar, from the Government Railway Police Station, in Baruipur, said:
‘We have registered the case against the accused. He has been harassing the family for the property of land and tried every possible way to harm them.
‘We have arrested him under sections 326 A (punishment for acid throwing), 307 (attempt to murder), 120B (punishment for criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code.’
Narrating her ordeal to Asian Press, Tandra who only separated from her
husband last year, said: 'The attacker used me as a commodity. He was
willing to ruin my life for his own personal gain. I’m a mother, I have a
baby, who would take care of my baby if I had died? I want my attacker
to be publically punished.’
