A veterinary doctor who was allegedly attacked with acid by a woman has said that he was in a relationship with her, police said on Monday.
SHO Indirapuram Gorakh Nath Yadav said that Amit Verma, a veterinary doctor, was practicing in Shastri Nagar in Meerut and was living as a tenant in a house in Ghaziabad.
The doctor had refused to stay with the woman and shifted his clinic to Vaishali, Ghaziabad a few months ago.
On May 16 the woman reached his clinic in Vaishali sector 4 and allegedly poured acid on him, while he was taking a shower.
The doctor sustained 40 per cent burn injuries and is still undergoing treatment at a private hospital.
An police case has been lodged based on Mr Verma's complaint under section 326 (voluntarily causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapons or means) IPC.
Police teams have conducted several raids at the woman's residence in Meerut and said that she will be caught soon, Mr Yadav added.
