Tayabba, an 18-year-old girl, was undergoing treatment at RML Hospital for the last two months. A 22-year-old-man Irshad had allegedly thrown acid on her in July after she rejected him and her family got her engaged to another man.
The girl, who belonged to Mathura, was undergoing treatment in Agra after which she was referred to RML Hospital in Delhi. Irshad was arrested after the attack but Tayabba's family members alleged that Irshad was accompanied by his mother, sister and an aunt when he threw acid on her.
Her family and relatives staged a protest outside Mr Yadav's house on Ashoka Road demanding the arrest of Irshad's family members who were allegedly involved and financial aid for the poor family of the victim, said Narender Malik, of the Navyuvak Sabha, who was part of the protest.
Tayabba's father hasn't been keeping well and her sister and mother make anklets, said Mr Malik.
