Acid attack’ or vitriol age is
defined as the act of throwing
acid onto the body of a person
“with the intention of injuring or
disfiguring [them] out of jealousy
or revenge”.
Perpetrators of these attacks throw
acid at their victims, usually at
their faces, burning them, and
damaging skin tissue, often
exposing and sometimes dissolving
the bones. The long-term
consequences of these attacks
include blindness and permanent
scarring of the face and body.
 The biggest reason for the high frequency rate of acid attacks in
India is that concentrated acid is cheap and easily available in
the market, for as low as Rs. 16-25 per liter.
 Furthermore there are no legal restrictions imposed on buying or
selling acid. Anyone can legally purchase acid over the counter
in pharmacies, automobile repair shops, goldsmith shops, and
open-air markets. Acid is also heavily used in many households
as a cleaning agent.
 Why must we treat acid attacks as a grave criminal act and what
should be the punishment like?
 Acid attack perpetrators do not usually intend to kill their
victims, but to cause long-lasting physical damage and
emotional trauma.
 Even if the perpetrator does not intend to cause death, the
injuries sustained by the victim may still result in death.
 Acid violence reflects gender inequality and discrimination in society. Often acid attacks
are perpetrated against women because they transgress conventional norms that relegate
women to subordinate positions. Indeed, a significant portion of attacks occur when a
woman exercises decision-making power by rejecting a marriage or "love" proposal. Acid
attackers aim for a woman’s face in an attempt to destroy what many members of society
consider to be one of her most important assets—her beauty. Majority of female victims
are between 13 to 35 years of age. Most acid attacks are perpetrated by the people known
to the victims and the attacks are often triggered by refusal to sexual advances or
marriage proposals or failure to pay dowry or by land disputes. Historically, a vast
majority of attacks are against women, with 99% of the perpetrators being men. In recent
years there has been an increase in crimes staged against men too, mostly related to the
disputes over land and other property. One fourth of the reported victims are children.
There were reports that father showered his own daughter with acid as he wanted a boy
child. Sometimes, children get hurt as they stay close to the main targets (mothers).
• In 2008, The Law Commission of India came out with a report on “The
inclusion of acid attacks as specific offenses in the Indian Penal Code and a
law for compensation for victims of crime” Here is an abstract about how an
additional sub- section should be added to existing Section 326 A.
• (i) Hurt by acid attack- Whoever burns or maims or disfigures or disables any
part or parts of the body of a person or causes grievous hurt by throwing acid
on or administering acid to that person, with the intention of causing or with
the knowledge that he is likely to cause such injury or hurt, shall be
punishable with imprisonment of either description which shall not be less
than 10 years but which may extend to life and with fine which may extend
to Rs. 10 lakh. Provided that any fine levied under this section shall be given
to the person on whom acid has been thrown or administered.
HAVE A GREAT DAY
