Additionally, the DCW demanded a copy of the permit that the online acid sales platform had acquired.
In response to the acid attack on a 17-year-old girl in Dwarka, the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) wrote to the chief executive officers of Amazon and Flipkart on Thursday. The DCW asked them to explain why the acid was so easily available on the e-shopping platforms.
The illegal availability of acid on Amazon and Flipkart also raised concerns from the DCW, who stated that it has to be examined promptly.
According to police, two bike-borne youth are accused of using acid to attack a 17-year-old girl in Delhi’s Dwarka sector. The girl is receiving treatment at Safdarjung Hospital right now.
The letter, bearing the DCW Chairperson’s signature reads that the Commission has learned that the defendant purchased acid through the internet retailer Flipkart. The Commission has also learned that, while being prohibited, acid is readily available on popular internet buying sites like Amazon and Flipkart. The ease of access to acid on online platforms is a serious concern that has to be investigated immediately.
The Commission also requested information about the merchants who listed acid as a product on the two platforms.
The letter further asks for an explanation on why acid is available on online shopping platforms. It asked the e-shopping platforms to list all of the vendors that were selling acid as a product on their platforms. The letter also asked if the seller’s licence was verified prior to advertising the acid product on the website? If not, kindly state the reasons why.
Additionally, the DCW demanded a copy of the permit that the online acid sales platform had acquired.
In the letter, it was requested to supply details of those responsible for authorising sale of acid on the site along with details of action taken against them. The Commission demanded a thorough report on the steps taken in this case.
For throwing acid at a 17-year-old girl in the national capital’s Dwarka neighbourhood, Delhi Police have detained all three suspects. On Wednesday, Dwarka DCP M Harshvardhan claimed that the arrest of all three suspects had allowed the police to close the case.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday distributed two-wheelers to female students of Maharani College in Rajasthan’s Jaipur. The Wayanad MP also took a pillion rides on a girl’s scooter.
After distributing the two-wheeler, Gandhi could be seen taking a ride pillion on a girl’s scooter and surrounded by other female students riding the scooter.
The video of Rahul Gandhi taking a ride pillion on a girl’s scooter has been shared widely on the internet.
Earlier in May this year, Rahul Gandhi took a joyride on a delivery boy’s scooter in Bengaluru as he hopped in the man’s two-wheeler and rode pillion.
In a video that was widely shared on the internet, the Gandhi scion, who was campaigning for the Congress ahead of the May 10 elections in Karnataka, was seen surrounded by a large crowd of supporters and party workers in the heart of Bengaluru city.
The former Wayanad MP then stops to console a little boy who apparently became emotional after meeting Gandhi and in the meantime a delivery man stops near the Congress leader as he’s comforting the kid.
Then, in the spur of the moment, Rahul Gandhi hops on the man’s scooter and puts on a helmet as the two slowly ride through the swarm of the leader’s supporters.
According to reports, Rahul Gandhi rode a pillion with the delivery agent for nearly 2 kms before he dropped the former Congress chief at his hotel.
The videos of Rahul Gandhi’s spontaneous scooter ride with the delivery agent went viral on social media with users appreciating the Congress scion’s down-to-earth style of connecting with people.
In another video, Rahul was also seen with the truck drivers on foreign soil and rode from Washington DC to New York with truck driver Taljinder Singh. During the 190-km long journey, the Congress leader and the truck driver exchanged their views regarding the working conditions of Indian and American truck drivers.
