The city police are still not sure whether they have managed to nab the man who threw acid on 25-year-old trainee nurse Preeti Rathi as she arrived at the Bandra Terminus from Delhi on May 2.

Neither Preeti’s uncle who was with her when the attack took place, nor a cleaner at Bandra station who witnessed the attack, were able to identify Pawan Gehlaun, the 24-year-old BTech student who has been detained, as the attacker. “A platform cleaner who was present at the spot and followed the accused after the attack, saw Gehlaun today but was not confident about he being the attacker,” said Preeti’s uncle Vinod Dahiya yesterday.
