The 23-year-old girl, who was battling for her life at Bombay Hospital here for the last one month after a man threw acid on her, succumbed on Saturday.
Maharashtra governor K Sankaranarayanan on Saturday expressed grief and anguish over the demise of Preeti Rathi, the victim of acid attack.
In a condolence message, the Governor said, “The demise of Preeti Rathi, who was assaulted with acid upon her arrival in Mumbai from Delhi a month ago, has filled my heart with a sense of grief and anguish.”
“The death has saddened me immensely. I was following the progress of her health right from day one and was quite optimistic about her recovery. Her death is a blow as much for her near and dear ones as for all the right thinking people,” he said.
