Mr. Subhani, a 35-year-old man, a saddest, working in a jewellery unit, attacked with acid on a woman and her mother on Friday night at Godugupeta street in Machilipatnam town, after his proposal to marry the woman was ruled out. This incident took place around 10.45 p.m. when the 25-year-old woman and her mother were returning home to their apartment in a block of flats where Subhani, his wife and two children also stay.
“Recently we came to know that his wife is alive. We rejected the proposal and decided to send our daughter to Visakhapatnam,” victim's father Mohammed Yousuf claimed. On Friday, the girl and her mother went to Durga at Kakani in Guntur district. Anticipating that the girl was preparing to shift to Visakhapatnam, Subhani reportedly waited for her to return home and attacked her with the acid bottle.
When her mother tried to stop him, he poured it on her also, this led to severe burn injuries on both women. Later, he poured acid on himself that has been stored in a bucket. Residents of the area say that Subhani had used concentrated sulphuric acid which is commonly kept by workers in the jewellery industry. The victim was taken to the hospital and the accused also was taken to hospital for treatment.
