A “semi liquid” substance was thrown on AAP leader Soni Sori late on Saturday night, causing intense burning and injuries to her face, after which she was referred to a hospital in Jagdalpur. Officials said it was unclear if the substance was acid, grease or some other ointment.

The incident took place near Bastanar at 10.30 pm, as the tribal activist was returning home after visiting the Jagdalpur Legal Aid Group. A police officer said, “Sori was travelling on a motorcycle with another woman. Two men on a bike stopped them near Bastanar ghati, and applied the substance to Sori’s face.”
