They threw acid on her at her rental residence in Rispana Colony, Dehradun. She was taken to the hospital and she underwent 57 surgeries. She had to get the skin from thighs and get the grafting done. She lost one of her ears, 90% of the vision of one of her eyes and she has a dysfunctional breast, even after going through the best medical treatment in the country. Her sister Kangana supported her throughout her journey, she looked after her when her other family members failed to do so. In an interview, she talked about how she was struggling for life because of her food and windpipe being severely damaged. The physical pain was one thing but the mental trauma she faced was immense. Her parents would faint whenever they saw her. The man who was chosen by her parents and who she was engaged to, left her after the attack happened. She refrained from looking into the mirror for three months. Her parents would often throw tantrums as to what would happen to her, who would marry her and so on. On December 2017, Dehradun Police arrested the main accused of the case and his accomplice.
