The officials have informed that the victim was walking towards the college when Jitender, along with his associates, Arman and Ishan, came on a motorcycle.

After the brutal acid attack, the college Proctor, Dr. Manraj Gurjar, said that the acid attack took place outside the college campus and the victim was an NCWEB student and not a regular one.
“She is an NCWEB student, not a regular college student... This incident happened outside the college campus, on the main road... There was a PCR van within 50 metres of the incident site, with a female police officer always present,” he stated.
Delhi University Students' Union President, Aryan Maan, said that Jitender, who is married with a kid, had been stalking her for a year and a half, and she had repeatedly denied his advances. His misbehaviour continued despite her resistance.
Describing the incident on her account, he further stated, “She said three men came on a bike, took out a bottle of acid, and tried to throw it at her. She tried to save herself by picking up her bag, but the acid hit both her hands, and she suffered five per cent burns. She also said that the culprit, the one who threw the acid, is Jitender. He is married and has a one-and-a-half-year-old child... All three accused should be arrested soon.”
A case has been registered under the relevant sections of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
