The recent judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court has upheld the judicial outcome in Salma Khatoon’s case. But justice cannot be measured by a judgment alone. It must also reach the family she left behind. Salma was only 15 years old when she became a victim of an acid attack in Aurangabad, Bihar. After nearly 83 days of prolonged treatment, she lost her life in September 2016. Her family has since endured years of emotional, financial and legal hardship. Today, Chhanv Foundation stands as the voice of Salma’s family, respectfully requesting the Government of Bihar @bihargov and Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri @samrat4bjp to extend meaningful support and rehabilitation to them. We request the Government of Bihar to kindly consider: 1. ₹50 lakh enhanced ex-gratia assistance for the family 2. Employment support for Salma’s brother, Md. Faisal Raza, under an applicable provision/policy 3. Access to all applicable compensation, rehabilitation, social-security and welfare benefits 4. Coordinated institutional support to ensure the family receives the assistance they are entitled to without having to navigate multiple authorities on their own. Salma’s family has carried this loss for a decade. We request the Government of Bihar to now stand with them. Chhanv Foundation will continue to stand with Salma’s family and raise their voice for dignity, rehabilitation and support. @officecmbihar @Bslsaofficial @DoSWBihar @IPRDBihar

@SPSouthdinajpur Sir, we have not received any response yet. Perhaps you are not understanding the gravity of the situation. We ask you and the Balurghat Police, what should we do? Should we remain silent and wait for another mishap, since there seems to be no action from your end? It has been 3 days, and your inaction is deeply concerning. It appears that even such a serious matter is not being treated with the urgency it deserves. @WBPolice @MamataOfficial @NCWIndia #JusticeForSantoshi

A woman asked for her legal share. She was threatened. She complained to police. And days later, acid was thrown on her. This is the story of Santoshi Sharma Rajak from Balurghat, West Bengal. #JusticeForSantoshi Santoshi had already filed a complaint on March 11, naming those threatening her over a land dispute. On March 14, while on her way to the police station AGAIN, she was attacked with acid. No arrests have been made yet. The accused are still roaming freely. Santoshi, her mother, and her 18-year-old daughter are living in fear. She asked for protection. She was told police are busy with election duties. Is her life less important? We demand: Immediate arrest of all accused Police protection for Santoshi and her family Accountability from authorities @WBPolice @MamataOfficial @NCWIndia #StopAcidAttacks

Yesterday, our team led by @AnshuRa77858639 met the Secretary, DLSA Haridwar to brief her about Chhanv Foundation, our ongoing work, and the vision for a deeper, long-term collaboration to support acid attack and burn survivors. The meeting was extremely positive and opened up strong possibilities for structured collaboration at both district and state levels. Discussions focused on survivor rehabilitation, employment linkages, data sharing, legal support, and capacity building through PLVs. Haridwar was also discussed as a potential pilot district, with guidance to formally approach SLSA Nainital to expand the impact across all 13 districts of Uttarakhand. Such institutional partnerships are crucial to ensure justice, dignity, rehabilitation, and sustainable livelihoods for survivors. We look forward to taking these conversations forward with concrete action on ground. Together, we move closer to a system that truly supports survivors beyond compensation. #stopacidattacks #chhanvfoundation #acidattacksurvivors #legalsupport #survivorrehabilitation

Today, we lost Tarana! Tarana was brutally attacked with acid in November in Gwalior by her late husband’s elder brother after she refused an immoral and unlawful demand. The attack left her with severe burns and life-threatening injuries. Following the attack, Tarana was admitted to a local hospital that was not equipped to treat patients with extensive burns. At the time, Madhya Pradesh did not have a dedicated and effective response system for acid attack survivors. When this case reached us through our Agra centre, almost a month had already passed. Chhanv Foundation intervened immediately and arranged Tarana’s transfer from Gwalior to @aiims_newdelhi, where she was admitted under the supervision of Dr. Shivangi Saha. From the day of her admission, her case was treated as high priority. She underwent multiple surgeries, and several more were planned as part of her long recovery process. Despite receiving advanced medical care and every possible effort by the doctors, deep infections had already spread inside her wounds due to the delay in treatment. Tragically, Tarana could not be saved. We are deeply saddened by her passing and stand in solidarity with her family during this extremely painful time. More details and further actions will follow. #acidviolence #stopacidattacks #justicefortarana

This reel exists because Tarana doesn’t. She was attacked with acid. She fought for her life. And on 04 January 2026, she lost that fight. This is not just about one man’s crime. This is about delayed treatment. Broken systems. And a response that came too late. An acid attack does not end with the attack. It continues in hospitals that are not equipped. In delays that turn injuries into deaths. In a system that fails survivors again and again. Do not watch this reel and scroll away. Your silence is part of the problem. Raise your voice. Demand justice. Demand the strictest punishment for her murderer. Demand systemic reform so no survivor is left to die waiting. Comment. Share. Speak up. Make this reel louder until accountability follows. #justicefortarana #endacidviolence #systemfailedher #standwithsurvivors #chhanvfoundation

She locked her beauty parlour like she did every day. She stepped onto a familiar road, surrounded by shops, people, noise, life. She had no idea that within seconds, everything would be taken from her. Two men stopped her. Asked for directions. And then acid was thrown on her face. In a crowded market. In broad daylight. Her screams cut through the street as her skin burned, her eyes blurred, and her body gave up. She collapsed into a drain, fighting unimaginable pain, while her attackers vanished without fear. Today, a 37-year-old woman is lying in a hospital bed, her face severely burned, her future uncertain. She is battling for her life. And the people who did this are still free. This is not just cruelty. This is a failure of the system. How is acid still so easy to access? How do criminals escape so effortlessly? Why does justice arrive only after lives are destroyed? An acid attack does not end in one moment. It scars the body forever. It haunts the mind forever. It changes a life forever. Anger is not enough anymore. Sympathy is not enough. We need arrests. We need strict control on acid sales. We need fast-track justice. Do not scroll past this. Speak up. Share. Demand answers. Demand accountability. Because silence allows this to happen again. And next time, it could be someone else. #nomoresilence #endviolenceagainstwomen #demandjustice #banacid #stopacidattacks
