Ludhiana : After battling for life for 20 days, the acid attack victim from Barnala passed away at the National Burns Centre, Mumbai, early this morning, said Commissioner of Police Nirmal Singh Dhillon. Acid was thrown on the 21-year-old in a beauty parlour at Sarabha Nagar here, hours before her wedding on December 7. Her condition was declared critical by the Mumbai doctors last week.
The Sarabha Nagar police station has now booked the assailants under Section 302 of the IPC (for murder). They were earlier booked for attempt to murder.
Investigation Officer Harbhajan Singh has reached Mumbai to make arrangements to airlift the body to Barnala. Harpal Singh, Station House Officer, Sarabha Nagar, said the death had been caused by infection in the internal organs.
The victim was admitted to Dayanand Medical College and Hospital and then airlifted to Mumbai on December 12. The police arrested the suspects, including the estranged wife of the groom's brother, within 48 hours of the crime. During questioning, the main accused, Amitpal Kaur alias Dimpy alias Pari, confessed to have plotted the attack as she wanted to “seek revenge”. Pari, divorced some years ago, was a resident of Patiala.
