The acid attacker Nagesh Babu, who threw acid at the 25-year-old girl who spurned his overtures on April 28, had contemplated throwing acid at her in 2020 itself, but did not attack her then.
“Nagesh Babu knew the victim for seven years and had been making repeated overtures to her that she had been consistently rejecting. Our investigations revealed that he had stalked her for years, without her knowledge. Not only that, the probe revealed that he had contemplated throwing acid at her in 2020 itself. He had procured acid then but did not carry out the crime,” said Police Commissioner Kamal Pant.
