The defendant reportedly poured acid on the victim’s face following disagreements, causing to her permanent wounds in her face which were deemed as 15 per cent disability. The incident happened while the woman was at the defendant’s family house.

The defendant said, however, that he was holding a glass and it fell by mistake from his hand. He was charged with causing 15% disability to the woman.
