The Delhi college student who alleged an acid attack had lied at the instance of her father, who wanted revenge against a rape complaint, police said Monday.
Akil Khan, the student's father, was nabbed Monday for allegedly fabricating the acid attack with a toilet cleaner, and raping the wife of the man his daughter accused of throwing "acid" at her. On Sunday morning, a 20-year-old second-year BCom student enrolled in DU's Non-Collegiate Women's Education Board alleged that she had been attacked with acid by three men.

Unempolyment rate rises to 5%
Despite the government's repeated claims of creating millions of new jobs, India's jobless rate has fluctuated in recent years. According to the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE), an independent think tank that produces economic and business databases for decision making and research, unemployment remains a concern, particularly among urban youth and graduates. In fact, in January 2026, the national unemployment rate edged up to 5.0 % from 4.8 % in December 2025, driven by rising joblessness in both rural (4.2 % vs. 3.9 %) and urban areas (7.0 % US. 6.7 %), according to National Statistics Office which confirm CMIE’s observations
