Kendrapara: A 22-year old girl suffered serious burn injuries when an unidentified man threw acid on her on late Thursday night at Naupada village under Rajnagar police station in Kendrapara district.
The victim was shifted to SCB medical college and hospital in Cuttack and admitted to the casualty department. She was later shifted to special burn ward as her condition deteriorated, doctors said. At least 40 per cent of her body has been burnt, they added.
Rajnagar police are yet to trace the accused even as a complaint has been registered by the victim’s family. One sided love affair is stated to be the reason behind the gruesome act.
Sources said, the incident took place at around 2 pm on Thursday night while the girl was asleep in her room. The accused allegedly threw acid through the windows of her bed room and fled the spot, sources added.
The family members admitted her to a local health centre and later shifted to Cuttack when her condition worsened.
