Khushboo
Devi was asleep with her husband and young daughter when Manik Chandra
knocked on the door of her home in Uttar Pradesh, northern India. When she opened the door, he threw a bottle of acid in her face.
The
20-year-old woman has been left permanently scarred after having acid
thrown in her face by her own father after she reported him for
allegedly selling women for sex
The
liquid also splashed onto husband Vinod Kumar, 26, and daughter Trisha
as they slept, and the three were rushed to hospital with burns to their
faces, shoulders, arms and hands.
Kushboo
has vowed to make sure her 40-year-old father spends the rest of his
life in jail for a life time of crimes against women.
She
said: 'My father threw acid on me because I know everything about him.
He knows he’ll get locked up for life with the secrets I know; the
number of marriages, the buying and selling of girls over and over
again.
'He
bought nice girls and then sold them at a higher price for many years.
He used to share everything with me thinking I’d keep his secrets. He
thought that if he killed me his secrets would be safe. He is a very
cruel man.'
Khushboo claimed she and
her four younger siblings grew up watching her father trade women after
her mother, Sarita Devi, 35, left in 2007 unable to cope.
Khushboo said: 'My mother lived a very hard life with my father. What she had to tolerate was unbearable.
'I was too young to understand as a
child, but he used to mentally and physically abuse her for years, once
he hit her so hard he permanently ruptured her ear drum and she lost her
hearing in that ear.'
But with Sarita gone, and unable to take her children with her, Kushboo was forced to became her father’s main support system.
'During those years in the house I saw him marry three girls without even divorcing my mother,' she said.
'Then he sold them. He used to charm these girls and marry them before getting a good rate and selling them to other men.'
At the time Kushboo thought the women were distant relatives, unaware of her father’s true crimes.
She added: 'He introduced one 22-year-old girl as his niece but later he married her.
'Sometimes he said our mother didn’t him cook food or wash his clothes and this was why he brought girls to the house.
'He thought I was not mature enough to understand things but as the years passed I realised what was happening.'
Kushboo
remembered when she was 12-years-old her father sent her to a Brick
kiln to work but other workers told her to run away because her father
was going to sell her.
