Top Chhattisgarh government officials today visited the hospital here to enquire about the health of tribal rights activist and AAP leader Soni Sori who was flown in here for treatment after she came under acid-like chemical attack three days ago.
State's Resident Commissioner B V Umadevi and others visited Indraprastha Apollo hospital and met doctors treating Sori. They said the condition of tribal activist is stable, a release issued by the state government said.
There is no threat to her life and she is recovering, it said quoting the doctors treating Sori.
On February 20,three unidentified youths had attacked the teacher-turned-politician allegedly with an acid-like chemical near Jawanga village in Naxal-affected Dantewada area of Chhattisgarh.
She was on Sunday flown to Delhi by AAP and admitted to the hospital as local doctors couldn't identify the substance smeared on her face.
An FIR has been registered by the state police and search is on to nab the culprits, the release said.
