Acid victim...

Picture
Salma Aktar, a girl from Sarail in Brahmanbaria who suffered acid burns, tries to hide her face as she sits on a bed at the burn and plastic surgery unit at Dhaka Medical College Hospital yesterday. The girl, who passed SSC examinations this year, fell victim to acid attack at her house on July 10. Local people alleged that Syed Jahangir Alam, who claims himself to be a Pir, threw acid on her as she protested his 'immoral' activities. Salma was admitted to DMCH on Friday night. PHOTO: STAR
