Home Minister T. Vanita, in a release on June 14 (Wednesday), said that a 35-year-old woman had survived an acid attack on her in Eluru district headquarters late on June 13.
The woman was reportedly attacked when she was returning home on a two-wheeler from a local hospital, where she works as a receptionist.
“Two miscreants allegedly stopped her and threw acid on her. The victim suffered burns on her right eye and breasts. The government is providing her necessary medical care in a Vijayawada-based hospital,” the Minister said in the release.
The police took up investigation after registering a case.
