Now life imprisonment for throwing acid on others

People found guilty of throwing acid on women causing serious injury could face life in jail and may have to cough up Rs. 10 lakh as compensation to the victims if a recommendation of a group of Union Secretaries gets Cabinet nod.


The committee has proposed addition of clauses A and B to section 326. The proposed clause A would prescribe the punishment for the intentional act of throwing acid to cause
burns, disfiguring of the body and disabling any part of the body.
