“I am very happy that I have been blessed with a baby which is every woman’s dream. There were a lot of complications and challenges in my life. Now it is time to move on,” said Pramodini.

Pramodini hails from Jagatsinghpur district. It was on April 18, 2009 when an Army Jawan Santosh Bedanta had thrown acid on Pramodini after she rejected his marriage proposal.

Pramodini underwent treatment and a series of surgeries at SCB Medical College and Hospital. But she lost her eyesight. She was operated upon again in July 2017 in Chennai and got back 20 percent vision in her left eye.

Eight years after the acid attack, Jagatsinghpur police had arrested Bedant from a hideout in Kolkata.
