This acid attack survivor scored 95.6% in class 12 boards and topped her school.
00:08
Chandigarh's Kafi was just 3 years old when her three neighbours attacked her with acid during the festival of Holi in 2011.
00:15
They had some jealousy, I mean we had little good financial condition so maybe we had a very lovely relationship before that.
00:23
The incident occurred when she had gone to her native village of Budhana in Haryana's Hisar district to celebrate the festival.
00:29
The assault driven by jealousy left her with severe burns on her face and arms and cost her her eyesight.
00:35
Despite the trauma, Kafi refused to give up.
00:38
With the help of audiobooks, she continued her studies and scored 95.2% in her class 10 exams in 2023.
00:45
Kafi shared, the doctor saved my life but not my eyesight.
00:49
She had undergone initial treatment at Ames Delhi where her family was told that her vision could not be restored.
00:54
Her educational journey began in her village but took a defining turn when she joined Chandigarh's Institute for the Blind in class 6.

Since then, she had consistently excelled in academics, stopping her class each year.

However, justice remains elusive.
01:21
They were my neighbours and actually they were convicted for only two years.
01:25

01:35
Since now, we didn't get any update about it.
