The incident had come to light when the woman had got off the Allahabad-Lucknow Ganga Gomti Express at Charbagh Station here and gave a written complaint to the government railway police. She wrote the complaint as she could not speak.
As per the complaint, two persons had forced her to drink acid.Earlier, two men had allegedly raped and attacked her with acid over a property dispute in her home at Unchahar in 2009, 100 kilometres from Lucknow.
Yogi Adityanath appears to be drastically failure when it comes to Law and order situation in UP. He was chosen on this issue but he lacks acumen to deal with police administration. The woman works with Sheroes Hangout Cafe, an outlet run by acid attack survivors in Lucknow.
In 2012, the woman was attacked with a knife, and in 2013 she was attacked with acid, police sources said.
