New Delhi : A 20-year-old Delhi University student claimed on Sunday that she suffered burn injuries while trying to protect her face in an alleged acid attack by a man, who had been stalking her for days and his two accomplices, while she was on her way to attend an extra class.

The incident sparked massive outrage. However, 24 hours later, a major twist emerged. The victim's father, Aqeel Khan who had been on the run, was caught by the Delhi Police and has confessed to fabricating the acid attack story to implicate the three men.

During questioning, Khan made the confession, admitting that he had planned the entire fake acid attack with his daughter to falsely implicate Jitendra, Ishan and Arman. He harboured personal grudges against the three men.
