Husband burns wife with acid in Rajshahi

A man allegedly poured battery acid on his 21-year-old wife's face and body for stopping him from taking drugs in Rajshahi. The incident took place on the night of November 5 at Shaheen slum in the city's Darikharbona rail gate area. After receiving treatment at the hospital for six days, the victim returned home and is now facing insecurity due to threats from her husband.

The victim, a native of Malshira village in Tanore, married Shahidul out of love five years ago. She alleged that her husband was addicted to drugs and did not provide for the family, forcing her to work in two houses to make a living. She faced physical abuse whenever she protested. Although the accused husband denied the drug allegations, he admitted to throwing acid.

Boalia Model Police Station OC Masuma Mustari stated that a case has been filed based on the victim's complaint, and legal action will be taken following an investigation. Currently, the woman is spending her days in deep anxiety with her four-year-old daughter.
