Horrific death of the young Indian nurse who had acid flung in her face as she waited on a train platform

An Indian woman who was the victim of an acid attack as she stood at a Mumbai train station has died from her injuries. Preeti Rathi was targeted as she stood alongside her father Amar Singh Rathi at the station on May 2. She had travelled to the city to take up a coveted position as a military nurse, beating thousands of other candidates. The attack left the 24-year-old blinded and disfigured and she was unable to speak before dying last weekend. Ms Rathi was attacked by a man who was wearing a cap and scarf and her family told a newspaper they believed the attacker could have been hired to follow her. 'We feel it has something to do with jealousy about her job. It could be someone from within her friends’ circle or our neighbourhood,' her father, 57, told the newspaper.
