Aspiring model Resham Khan, who was left with severe facial burns after allegedly being doused with acid on her 21st birthday in East London, has shared amazing photos of recovery. She and her cousin Jameel Mukhtar were allegedly attacked with a corrosive substance while they were driving through London streets near Beckton, with windows rolled down.
In a series of harrowing posts, she told how she was “too petrified to walk to my local shop” and explained the extensive medical treatment she went through including skin grafts.
And the 21-year-old has now shared pictures of herself with no visible scarring, thanking her followers for their support in an emotional post.
She wrote: "Of course my face isn't what it was, the images show mainly one side,” she wrote, to which hundreds of people responded commenting on her beauty.
She added: “You're all actually making me so emotional thank you all so much I feel so lucky to be surrounded by so much positivity. "
Shortly after the alleged June 21 attack, she shared pictures of herself with large dark scars on her body and peeling scabs across her face.
Her followers praised her “courage” and said she is a “welcome hope for others who have been affected by acid attacks”.
Police investigating the incident charged 24-year-old east Londoner John Tomlin with two counts of GBH. He is due to stand trial at Southwark Crown Court on November 27.
