Vijayawada: A newly married man died in an acid attack by a girl in Andhra Pradesh’s Guntur district, police said.
The incident took place in Venigandla village of Guntur district on Tuesday but came to light on Wednesday.
Shaikh Mohammad Ilyas (24), who suffered serious injuries in the attack, succumbed at the Government Hospital, Guntur.
Ilyas allegedly had an affair with Hema Bindu but he married another girl two days ago in his Pamulapaduku village in the same district.
On Tuesday, Hema with the help of a friend Qasim called Ilyas to a house to collect her photographs. As he reached the house, she threw acid on his face and escaped.
Ilyas was moved to a hospital in Guntur, where he succumbed to burns injuries Tuesday evening.
Police said they were making efforts to apprehend the girl and her friend who helped her in the attack.
