(MENAFN) A court in the Indian city of Mumbai has given the death penalty to a man for throwing acid at a woman at a busy railway station three years ago.
Preeti Rathi, who was 23 when she was attacked, had just arrived from Delhi to join the Indian navy as a nurse.
Her neighbour, Ankur Panwar, had said he attacked her because she had rejected his proposal to marry him.
The verdict is significant as most attackers receive minor sentences.
