BHOPAL: Two unidentified men allegedly hurled toilet cleaner acid on a scooter-borne man in Shahjehanabad on Wednesday.
SHO Shahjehanabad Zaheer Khan said that Saji Ali, 32, a resident of Sajida Nagar in Koh-e-Fiza, is an electrician. He told police that on Wednesday night around 10.30pm, he was standing at State Bank Square and talking over the phone. Meanwhile, three bike-borne men passed and hurled a stone at him. Saji got angry and chased the bikers on his scooter.
SHO Khan said that when Saji was chasing them, two accused hurled two bottles of acid at him at Benazir Ground leading to fumes and he suffered a burning sensation. He rushed to Hamidia hospital where the doctors told him that the liquid was toilet cleaner acid. After getting primary treatment at the hospital, Saji approached Shahjehanabad police and lodged a complaint.
SHO Khan said that police have registered a case but the incident seems suspicious. The case was being investigated from all angles.
