Delhi Acid Attack Twist: Girl, Father Staged It To Frame Man In Rape Case, Say Cops
In a stunning and sinister twist, the horrific acid attack on a Delhi University student reported on Sunday has been revealed as a complete fabrication, allegedly orchestrated by the “victim” and her father to frame a man in a revenge plot. The student’s father, Akil Khan, was arrested on Monday in a separate rape case after confessing to staging the attack with his daughter to falsely implicate a man named Jitender.
The case unraveled dramatically after Jitender’s wife filed a rape complaint against Akil Khan, accusing him of coercing her into sexual acts and blackmailing her with obscene photos. According to police sources, upon learning that a rape case was being filed against him, Akil conspired with his 20-year-old daughter to stage the acid attack as a pre-emptive strike to trap Jitender.
The daughter reportedly purchased toilet-cleaning acid and inflicted minor burns on herself to make the story believable.The initial report had sent shockwaves across the city, with the student claiming she was attacked near Lakshmibai College by her stalker, Jitender, and his two associates, Ishan and Arman. She had told police that the trio cornered her on a motorbike and threw acid on her, causing burns to her hands. This detailed but false narrative led police to initially focus their investigation on Jitender and recover CCTV footage allegedly showing the bike used in the “attack.”However, the investigation took a sharp turn when Jitender’s wife made a PCR call on October 24, two days before the staged attack, reporting harassment and blackmail by Akil.
She alleged that while working at his factory between 2021 and 2024, Akil had sexually harassed her and forced her into a physical relationship, using objectionable photos and videos to blackmail her. This complaint provided the motive for Akil’s desperate revenge plot. The case is further complicated by a history of disputes, including an ongoing property feud and an alleged acid attack on Jitender’s mother in 2018 by Akil’s relatives.Following Akil Khan’s confession, he was arrested in the rape case filed by Jitender’s wife. Jitender’s associates, who were earlier named in the fake FIR, are expected to join the investigation soon.
