Hyderabad: A 20-year-old woman suffered minor burn injuries after a jilted lover allegedly threw acid on her face in Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh, police said.
The incident occurred at Chagalamarri village on Monday night when Lal Basha threw acid on the woman, after she rejected his proposal to continue their affair, they said.
"The woman and Basha initially were having an affair. But after coming to know that Basha was already married she rejected his proposal," Allagadda Circle Inspector Sudhakar Reddy said based on a complaint lodged by the victim.
