NEW DELHI (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Three girls in eastern India are being treated in hospital after acid was thrown on them, said police on Monday, just days after a court handed down a landmark death sentence verdict to a man found guilty of murdering a nurse in an acid attack.

 

The teenage girls were attacked late on Sunday in West Bengal's Bankura district as they were returning home from tuition classes and were waiting near a bus stand.

 

Deputy Commissioner of Police Satyabrata Bhoi said they were taken by three men in a car where they were attacked and acid thrown on them. The three men have been arrested, he said, adding that the victims were now recovering in hospital.

This did happen. Indian girl was blinding by ex boy friend.

The judge ordered she be aloud to do the same to him.

She was aloud to use an eye dropper to blind the guy in one eye.

Happened about 5 years ago.

...and this all from a country with nuclear weapons. These common barbaric practices just show India for what it truly is

You wonder why so many of their citizens are staying here instead.

I believe in the end she declined to take her revenge.

I hope they will at least get life imprison

Perhaps their mothers treated them badly, and they are getting revenge on all women.
