Hyderabad: Telangana State Cabinet appointed Home Minister Nayini Narsimha Reddy to study the demand and advice the new changes in the punishment for the acid convicts.
Telangana State Cabinet is planning to give the lifetime imprisonment to the acid attacker instead of 10 years imprisonment, not only this but also victims will be given the fine taken from the convicts family and government will also provide medical treatments.
Official from demanding activists group said, "The existing law makes no mention of concrete solutions such as rehabilitation, insurance plan or long-term proper medical care for the victims. It has only made acid attack a criminal offence. A few lakhs in cash given by state governments and first aid will not be enough for the survivors of such attacks."
