Housewife receives acid burn

A CORRESPONDENT, GAIBANDHA

Oct 19: A housewife received acid burn injuries in an acid thowing by her husband at Maruadha village under Sundarganj Upazila on October 15. The victim was indetified as Afia Akhter Beauty (19), wife of Moklesur Rahman of the village.

Police and local sources said the acid throwing was the sequel to the filing of a case against Moklesur Rahman by Afia Akter for demanding dowry.

The sources said, Moklesur Rahman after his marriage with Afia Akhter, daughter of Nurul Huq two months ago started pressing her to bring dowry from her father.

Physical torture on her became a common feature as Afia expressed her inability to comply with the demand.

At one stage she was driven out of the house. Afia filed a case with Women and Children Repression Prevention Court against her husband drawing his wrath upon herself. Moklesur Rahman, in retaliation aided by his associates first tried to abduct Afia and failing in the attempt threw acid on Afia on October 15. The acid burnt different parts of the body.


What kind of stinking psychopath could do this sort of thing? And he has associates? And did you see anything about his being detained, arrested or charged?
