Husband hurls acid on teenage wife in Rajshahi

A 30-year-old man threw acid on his wife while she was sleeping at her parents' house in Rajshahi's Godagari upazila early today, police said.

The victim Mahbuba Begum of Raninagar village is a dakhil student at a local madrassa, reports our Rajshahi correspondent quoting Khairul Islam, officer-in-charge of Godagari Police Station.

Mahbuba and Murad Ali, whose families are neighbours, got married a year ago, the OC said quoting locals.
