Timeline

1990

Laxmi Agarwal (born 1 June 1990) is an Indian acid attack survivor, a campaigner for rights of acid attack victims, and a TV host.

2005

She was attacked in 2005 in New Delhi at the age of 15.

In 2005, Laxmi was 15 years old and an 11th-grade student.

She was approached by a man working in her neighbourhood, Naeem Khan, who was 32 years old.

He proposed to Laxmi but she rejected him.

She did not inform anyone about this because her family would've blamed her and stopped her studies.

Ten months later, Laxmi Agrawal was returning from Khan market at 10:45 in the morning when she received Naeem's wedding proposal again.

She did not respond.

Within no time, she was attacked with acid by Naeem and his elder brother, Kamran.

Kamran called Laxmi's name from behind while riding his motorcycle.

When Laxmi turned to look, Naeem threw acid directly at her face from the backseat.

Laxmi fainted and after gaining consciousness, she tried to walk up and ask for help but met with multiple road accidents.

A man named Arun Singh called the police, but he saw her skin melting from the acid, and he realised it might be too late to wait for assistance.

Someone else splashed water on her face hoping to reduce the burns; this caused the acid to move down and burn her neck.

Arun then got her in the back seat of his car.

This later caused burn holes in the seat covers.

He admitted her to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital.

The police reached the hospital directly.

Arun then asked Laxmi about her family and where she lived.

He reached her house, informed her family, and took them from their house to the hospital.

She underwent multiple operations including eye surgery.

Four days after the attack, Naeem Khan was arrested, but was bailed out a month later.

He married soon.

However, after widespread protests and media attention, he was sentenced to prison for life.

2006

Agarwal, whose face and other body parts were disfigured in the acid attack, had filed a public interest litigation (PIL) in 2006.

A minor then, she was attacked with acid by three men near Tughlaq road in New Delhi as she had refused to marry Naeem Khan, known as Gudda, one of the trio.

Her PIL sought framing of a new law, or amendment to the existing criminal laws like IPC, Indian Evidence Act and CrPC, for dealing with the offence, besides asking for compensation.

She also pleaded for a total ban on the sale of acid, citing an increasing number of incidents of such attacks on women across the country.

During a hearing in April, the Centre assured the Supreme Court of India that it would work with the state governments to formulate a plan before the next hearing on 9 July.

However, it failed to do so, which angered the court.

Also, when the Centre failed to produce a plan, the Supreme Court warned that it would intervene and pass orders if the government failed to frame a policy to curb the sale of acid in order to prevent chemical attacks.

"Seriousness is not seen on the part of the government in handling the issue," the bench headed by Justice RM Lodha said.

Earlier, in February, the court had directed the centre to convene in six weeks a meeting of Chief Secretaries of all states and union territories to hold a discussion for enacting a law to regulate the sale of acids and policy for treatment, compensation and care and rehabilitation of such victims.

2013

Meanwhile, in 2013, the Supreme Court ruled in favour of Agarwal and Rupa's plea, thereby creating a fresh set of restrictions on the sale of acid.

Under the new regulations, acid could not be sold to any individual below the age of 18 years.

One is also required to furnish a photo identity card before buying acid.

2014

In 2014, she received the International Women of Courage award at the hands of First Lady Michelle Obama.

The movie Chhapaak is based on her life and stars Deepika Padukone in her role.

Laxmi was born in New Delhi.

2019

In 2019, she was honoured with the International Women Empowerment Award from the Ministry of Women and Child Development, the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation and UNICEF for her campaign of Stop Acid Sale.
