Youths Throw Acid At Girls In Mohali, One Critical

Two girls, Swatika and Shefali, suffered serious burn injuries when two unidentified motorcycle-borne youths threw acid on them at the busy Daun petrol pump near Kharar on Thursday evening.

The girls were admitted to PGI, Chandigarh, where the condition of Swatika (who suffered maximum burn injuries) is critical.

Police said, the girls, along with their employer Rakesh Rikhi, who is a property dealer in Phase I, had stopped at the petrol pump at around 6 pm on way to Chintpurni in Himachal Pradesh.

As soon as Rikhi got down from the car to get the fuel tank filled, two youths came there with a can of acid and threw its contents inside the car. Swatika, who was sitting on the front seat, suffered maximum injuries. The property dealer also suffered injuries.
