On 23/12/2014, information was received at PS Rajouri Garden that acid has been thrown on a girl in main market Rajouri Garden, in front of Chawla Jeweller. The victim was taken to the Hospital and one scooty Activa white colour bearing No. PB 07 AD 4617 was found there and some chemical-like solution was found dropped on the front head light and handle of the scooty. The victim reported to the Police that she is a permanent resident of Hoshiyar Pur, Punjab and presently residing in a rented accommodation in Hari Nagar area. She is working as a Senior Resident doctor in Delhi. On the fateful day, she left for her duty by her scooty Activa, at about 9.20 AM when she reached in front of Chawla Jewellers, Main Market Rajouri Garden, two boys riding an unknown motorcycle came from behind and the rider lifted her bag containing a pink colour purse, five debit cards, PAN card, Driving License, mobile phone (iPhone 4S) and a cash of Rs. 5000/- which was placed between her legs. The pillion rider flung an acid-like aqueous solution on her. Due to the burning sensation, she stopped her scooty and started shouting for help. She sustained burns on her right eye, face and right hand.  Accordingly, on her statement a case vide FIR No. 1525/2014 U/s 394/326A/34 IPC was registered at PS Rajouri Garden and the investigation was carried out earnestly.

                Keeping in view the gravity of the offence, 12 different investigation teams were formed out of which the following police teams played pivotal role to unfold the mystery behind the blind acid attack case:-

1.   A team of Special Staff/West District headed by Inspr. S. S. Rathee comprising of SI Sandeep Dabas, I/C PP Hari Nagar, SI Charan Singh, ASI Ishwar Singh, ASI Vijender, HC Vinod, Ct. Amarjeet, Ct. Vinod under the supervision of  Sh. Dinesh Tiwari, ACP/Operation/WD.

2.   A team headed by Inspr. Suneel Mittal, SHO/Rajouri Garden comprising of SI Manohar lal, SI Suresh Chand, SI Pravesh Kaushik I/C PP MIG Flats, HC Satender and Ct. Harpinder under the supervision of Sh. B. R. Mann, ACP/Rajouri Garden/WD.

3.   A team headed by Inspr. Raj Kumar, AATS/SWD comprising of SI Manoj Bhatia, ASI Jai Prakash, HC Rajesh and Ct. Abhishek.

4.   A team of AATS/WD headed by Inspr. Dinesh Sharma comprising of ASI Dipender, HC Rishi, HC Naveen and Ct. Ajay.

                The teams worked relentlessly and activated their intelligence. Police teams sprung into action and shortlisted all the friends and colleagues of the victim. The police teams were also questioning her friends and colleagues to determine whether she had any personal enmity or if anyone held a grudge against her. It  was revealed that the accused persons had chased the victim from her house and harmed her as they got an opportunity in the market area. Hence, the robbery angle was ruled out. The police teams focused on personal enmity.

                Dr. Ashok Yadav, a friend of the victim was zeroed in.  He was put to sustained interrogation. Initially, he tried to hoodwink the police teams, but during several rounds of interrogation and questioning Dr. Ashok Yadav broke down and blew the lid off the plot. He stated that he wanted to propose her for marriage but the latter was not responding positively. Dr. Ashok Yadav narrated this fact to his close friend Vaibhav and added that he wants to teach her a lesson.  Vaibhav informed that he knew some persons who can carry out our plot.  Vaibhav arranged two juveniles for executing this plot in lieu of Rs.25,000/-. Vaibhav handed over the money along with photos of the victim to the juveniles. Few days ago, they practiced this exercise to make their plot a success. After committing the crime, they assembled at a park in the locality and hide the snatched bag of the victim.

        On further verification, it is found that the motorcycle used in the commission was stolen from the area of Hari Nagar.
