An accountant was facing an indefinite jail sentence today after throwing hydrochloric acid over three High Court lawyers.

Ashok Mahajan, 55, who has a history of courtroom violence, launched his furious attack after losing a negligence action against a law firm.

As his appeal was dismissed, Mahajan got up to leave. When the judge asked him to remain, his response was to first 'hurl abuse at all' and then throw the acid.

The highly corrosive liquid left lawyer Lucy Colter screaming in agony as it seared into her eye.


This guy is an imigrant from India a nationalised Brit. Its cases like this that make a bold statement that needs the nationality laws in UK changed to in include any foriegn national that seeks and obtains British nationalism shall lose the new status if he or she involves themselves in criminal activities or in any anti British activism.
