Who would have thought that a dangerous thing like acid could be easily available on e-commerce websites? That could be so easily purchased by people for criminal purposes? This is the latest shocking detail which has been revealed in the Delhi acid attack case. Technical evidence has revealed that the main accused, Sachin Arora, purchased acid on Flipkart to throw at the 17-year-old schoolgirl.
