After eight months since the series of acid attacks in Isfahan, the police chief of the province has denied reports about the arrest of the suspect or suspects in this incident, stating that although the case has "suspects," no one has been arrested yet. According to Tasnim News Agency, rumors about the arrest of the perpetrator of the acid attacks in Isfahan have circulated on social media in recent days. However, Abdolreza Aghakhani, the police chief of Isfahan province, said on Thursday, June 18, that he does not confirm this news. He emphasized that the case has "suspects," but no one has been arrested so far. Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, the spokesperson for Iran's judiciary, stated on June 24 that a "new development" had occurred in the Isfahan acid attack case and that "one person has been arrested as a suspect." Meanwhile, Hossein Zolfaqari, the Deputy Security Minister of Iran, also reported on June 12 the arrest of a "suspicious" individual in connection with the Isfahan acid attacks, while noting that this matter has not yet reached a conclusion. Zolfaqari emphasized that "recently a thief was arrested in Isfahan who has assaulted four women in his case and has confessed to the acid attacks, but due to the psychological issues he has, this matter is under further investigation." Mohammad Reza Moqimi, the head of the Criminal Investigation Police, also mentioned on Tuesday, May 18, that there are "several main suspects" in the Isfahan acid attack case and that there is a "possibility of discovery" in this case. However, after more than eight months, this case has still not reached a conclusion. According to Ismail Ahmadi Moghaddam, the former police chief, from the beginning of 2014 until February of that year, there were "318 cases of acid attacks," most of whose perpetrators have been arrested. Nevertheless, police and judiciary officials consider the possibility of the suspect or suspects of the series of acid attacks in Isfahan fleeing to be a "speculation" and stated that their escape cannot be termed "certain."
