The parents and relatives of an acid attack victim from Mathura who died at a Delhi Hospital staged a protest outside Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav's residence in New Delhi today.
Tayabba, an 18-year-old girl, was undergoing treatment at RML Hospital for the last two months. A 22-year-old-man Irshad had allegedly thrown acid on her in July after she rejected him and her family got her engaged to another man.
The girl, who belonged to Mathura, was undergoing treatment in Agra after which she was referred to RML Hospital in Delhi. Irshad was arrested after the attack but Tayabba's family members alleged that Irshad was accompanied by his mother, sister and an aunt when he threw acid on her.
Her family and relatives staged a protest outside Yadav's house on Ashoka Road demanding the arrest of Irshad's family members who were allegedly involved and financial aid for the poor family of the victim, said Narender Malik, of the Navyuvak Sabha, who was part of the protest.
Tayabba's father hasn't been keeping well and her sister and mother make anklets, said Malik.
Around 15-20 protesters were detained around 1 pm and taken to Parliament Street police station where they were let off in the evening, police said.
