Swati Maliwal also reacted to this incident and said the DWW team is reaching the hospital to help the victim.

She said they will get justice for the daughter.

She further tweeted, The Delhi Commission for Women has been fighting for years to ban acid in the country. When will the governments wake up?

द्वारका मोड़ के पास एक स्कूली छात्रा पर तेज़ाब फेंका। हमारी टीम पीड़िता की मदद के लिए अस्पताल पहुँच रही है। बेटी को इंसाफ़ दिलाएँगे। दिल्ली महिला आयोग सालों से देश में तेज़ाब बैन करने की लड़ाई लड़ रहा है। कब जगेंगी सरकारें?
