Acid thrown on girl
A girl who sustained acid burns was admitted to Mymensingh Medical College Hospital (MMCH) yesterday.
The victim is Rina Akhter, 18, daughter of Arab Ali of Mondolergati village in Kalmakanda upazila of Netrakona district.
Sohagh Mia, 25, son of Kala Chand of adjacent Baniapara village, used to tease the girl for long. He gave marriage proposal to the girl several times but the girl and her family refused, which made him angry, said Officer-in-Charge of Kalmakanda Police Station Abu Bakkar Siddique, quoting the girl's family members.
Sohagh, a rickshaw puller, threw acid on Rina's face when she was in her house yesterday.
She was rushed to Netrakona Adhunik Sadar Hospital immediately, but later shifted to MMCH as her condition deteriorated, police said.
Locals caught Sohagh and handed him over to the police.
