PHOTOS: Man fainted as he was dragged through the street for pouring two students Acid.

 A man accused of throwing acid in the faces of two schoolgirls after his sexual advances were rejected has fainted while being handcuffed and paraded before an

angry mob.

Pictures taken at a press conference yesterday announcing the arrest of Jiwan BK, 20, show him beingvdragged by police through a crowd in Kathmandu,

Nepal, in a semi-conscious state.

His arrest comes a month after schoolgirls Sangita Magar, 16, and Sima Basnet, 15, were studying at a school in the capital when a masked attacker barged

into the classroom and splashed acid across their faces.

It is feared the suspected revenge attack has left the teenagers scarred for life after they suffered severe chemical burns to their faces, torsos and legs.

However, Nepalese law states that such attacks are only punished by anywhere between three months to three years in prison - depending on the severity of the

disfigurement.
