IndiaSpend's video: Can I have blue eyes : An Acid Attack Survivor s Journey To Regain Vision IndiaSpend

The National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) recorded 1,066 acid attacks in the five years from 2017 to 2021. Of these, over 60% of the victims were women. Organizations, such as the Acid Survivors Trust International, say these numbers are underreported; the real number is likely to exceed 1,000 attacks a year. Around a third of the victims (31%) suffer complete or partial blindness, experts estimate. Sneha Richhariya travels to Cuttack to meet Rani, who was attacked with acid in 2009, left paralysed and blind. The last 14 years have been a battle for Rani to regain part of her vision, and her life, she tells us.
