JAIPUR: An unidentified bike-borne youth threw a chemical substance on two girls in Vatika village under the Sanganer Sadar police station area of Jaipur on Saturday.

The police said that the incident took place sometime in the afternoon when a 21-year-old girl was walking from school to the library.

"The girls reported that their clothes were drenched after the accused threw substance on them. They felt some burning sensation and had red rashes on skins," Goyal said. "The clothes of the girls got stiff after coming in contact with the chemical substance," he said, adding that the SHO of the Sanganer Sadar police station was sent to the spot and mobile FSL was also called to the scene.
