ON 19 MAY 2014, AS SEVENTEEN-YEAR-OLD RESHMA QURESHI LEFT HOME FOR THE EXAMINATION CENTRE, EVERYTHING HAPPENED IN A FLASH. THE MEN RUSHED TOWARDS HER. GRABBED HER. TUGGED AT HER HAIR. POURED ACID ON HER FACE. SOON SHE STARTED TO BURN LIKE A LIVING CORPSE. THE ACID ATE THROUGH HER SKIN AND AIMED FOR HER BONES, BUT IT COULD NOT QUELL THE FIRE IN HER HEART.
