A 20-year-old Delhi University student's claim of an acid attack turned out to be fabricated when her father, Aqeel Khan, confessed to orchestrating the false accusation. Police investigation revealed the woman's burns came from toilet cleaner, not acid, in a revenge scheme against three men following a harassment complaint. CCTV footage and mobile location data disproved the original allegations, leading authorities to pursue legal action against both father and daughter under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
