A young woman suffered acid burns on her legs after an alleged unidentified person clad in a burqa threw the corrosive liquid on her yesterday evening at a kitchen market of Mirpur-11 in the city.
Doctors at the burn unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital said the victim, Suborna Akhter, 22, suffered around four percent burns.
Suborna, owner of a Mirpur beauty parlor, suspects that the attack was carried out by her ex-boyfriend against whom she had filed a case some months ago for threatening her.
