With the enactment of a new, stricter, law in Nepal against the use of acid in attacks, perpetrators have now shifted to using hot oil. Although injuries from such attacks are often first-degree burns compared to acid attacks (which result in third-degree burns), weaker laws and little support from the government make the victims of such attacks vulnerable. Criminals resort to such methods knowing stricter punishment lies with the use of acid – and not with oil.
