Rohini Court denies bail to man accused of acid attack on wife

The Rohini Court has rejected the third bail plea of Jitender, also known as Jony, who is accused of forcibly administering an acid-like substance into his wife's mouth. The case, which originated in 2018 at the Shahbad Dairy police station, involves charges under several sections of the Indian Penal Code, including 326-A.

Additional Sessions Judge Richa Manchanda dismissed the application, citing the gravity of the allegations and the defendant's history of jumping interim bail, which led to him being declared a proclaimed offender. While the defense argued that Jitender had been falsely implicated due to a matrimonial dispute and was no longer needed for interrogation, the state strongly opposed the plea due to the serious nature of the crime.
