Azamgarh:
A few days before the marriage, 25 -year -old Reema (name changed) was going home from the bank when two people stopped her on a bike. “If you are not mine, you won’t belong to anyone else,” one of the men said, as he threw acid on it.
The incident was reported in Mau district of Uttar Pradesh, where the victim and his family were preparing in full swing for his marriage. Reema was managing herself as her father died and her brother is young.
Accused Ram Janam Singh Patel, who was in a relationship with Reema, was strongly opposed to his marriage for another person.
On Thursday, when she was returning home after withdrawing Rs 20,000 from the bank, she threw acid on her with the intention of stopping the wedding of 27 May. The woman’s face, shoulder, neck and upper body were severely burnt. He was taken to the Community Health Center in his village, who then sent him to the hospital after first aid. She is undergoing treatment at a global hospital in Azamgarh to burn 60 percent.
Patel, and two other accused have been arrested and the bike used in the incident has been recovered. He later told the police that he wanted to throw acid on his back to reduce the minimum damage to cancel his marriage and he could marry Reema.
Last month, a man in Uttar Pradesh’s Shahjanpur district allegedly dumped acid on his wife and two daughters due to suspicion on his wife’s alleged extrusion affair.
