Angered by her rejection and refusal to marry him, a man threw acid on a 24-year-old woman while she was entering her workplace in Sunkadakatte, Kamakshipalya, early Thursday morning.
According to the police, he had been stalking and harassing the victim, an executive with a gold finance firm. She sustained over 30% burns following the attack.
“Her father had dropped her to office, and she was climbing the stairs when the accused, Nagesh, followed her into the building. He splashed acid used in toilet cleaners on her face and fled,” said a police officer.
