**Plot Summary:**
The story follows Malti, an acid attack survivor, as she fights for justice and advocates for stricter regulations on the sale of acid. Malti’s life takes a tragic turn in April 2005 when she is attacked with acid in a busy New Delhi market. The police, based on testimonies from Malti and her boyfriend Rajesh, suspect Basheer “Babbu” Khan, a family friend, and his brother’s wife, Parveen Shaikh. Babbu is arrested after his phone signal is traced to the crime scene, while Malti undergoes multiple surgeries to reconstruct her severely damaged face.
Malti’s parents, who work as domestic help, struggle to support her treatment. Their employer, Shiraz, assists financially and hires lawyer Archana Bajaj to represent Malti. Archana highlights that Indian law treats acid attacks and cases of burning with hot water similarly, resulting in the same punishment. Despite evidence proving Babbu and Parveen’s guilt—including Parveen’s burnt fingers from throwing the acid—Babbu is granted bail due to the lenient legal system.
Determined to bring about change, Malti and Archana prepare a petition to amend the law. Meanwhile, Malti’s brother Rohit is diagnosed with advanced intestinal tuberculosis, adding to the family’s challenges.
In August 2009, the court sentences Babbu to 10 years and Parveen to 7 years in prison, but they appeal the decision. Malti continues her fight, raising funds for the treatment and legal support of other acid attack survivors. Her efforts eventually lead to amendments in the penal code.
In 2013, another acid attack in Mumbai claims the life of Pinky Rathore, sparking public outrage and leading to stricter regulations on acid sales. Malti becomes a prominent figure in the fight for acid attack survivors’ rights and develops feelings for Amol Dwivedi, the founder of a foundation supporting survivors.
*Chhapaak* is a powerful story of resilience, justice, and advocacy.
