Mr.uppal is the singh's name

They have moved on now but they have details on their website , from leeds http://www.bbc.co.uk/crimewatch/appeals_leeds_attack.shtml

'On 3 April 2007, Amarjit Singh Uppal, a 49-year-old Sikh man, was blinded outside his home in Leeds when a man threw chemicals in his face.

Mr Uppal had spent the evening at the Sikh Temple in Chapeltown Road - where he's an assistant secretary. He arrived home at about 8.30pm. He pulled into his driveway and saw a man on the pavement. The attacker was holding a foil food tray, stirring the contents with a stick. Mr Uppal parked his car, got out, and the man approached. The attacker shouted: "Take that!" then threw the contents of the tray into Mr Uppal's face.

The tray contained some kind of household chemical similar to sodium sulphate (commonly found in household products such as detergent and washing powder). As a result, Mr Uppal has lost the sight in both eyes and may never see again.'

' * Police think the attack was targeted as the attacker knew where Mr Uppal lived and was waiting for him to come home. Mr Uppal didn't recognise his attacker - it's possible he was sent by someone else.

* The attacker was a light-skinned Afro-Caribbean male, aged 25-30, about 1.65m (5ft 5in), and of medium build. He was smartly dressed in a short, light-brown jacket and brown or grey trousers.

* The temple has offered a £5,000 reward to find the attacker. The victim's family has offered a separate £5,000 reward to find whoever was behind the attack.'
