Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena has directed Delhi Police Commissioner Satish Golcha to ensure that the accused in the alleged acid attack case in Ashok Vihar are arrested at the earliest, and stringent punishment is sought against them.

A 20-year-old woman allegedly sustained burn injuries on her hands when a “stalker” and his associates threw acid at her near Delhi University’s Laxmi Bai College in northwest Delhi on Sunday, an official said.

The incident took place in the morning when the woman, a second-year commerce student of the Non Collegiate Women’s Education Board (NCWEB), was walking towards her college for an extra class.
