Fearing break-up, woman attacks boyfriend with chemical

According to police, it was the female friend who turned out to be the attacker who hurled a chemical on the man after asking him take off the helmet while they were travelling together.

She decided to take this step to force him to marry her. The man, who the woman claims was her boyfriend, was insisting they break up.

“I had no option left than to disfigure his face so that he cannot marry anyone else but me,” the accused told police.

During initial interrogation, the police had found the behaviour of the woman suspicious.

Police had received the complaint on June 11 regarding the incident wherein the complainant alleged that some one attacked him by hurling some chemical on him while he was travelling on a two wheeler with his female friend near the drain in Vikaspuri area of West Delhi.

Initially the complainant was little apprehensive and was not cooperating with the investigation, the police said but later told the police that the attack came after his girlfriend asked him take off the helmet.

Later, during the interrogation on Sunday, finally the woman confessed saying that it was she who wanted to disfigure his face.

She further told police that she had been in a relationship with the man for around three years and wanted to marry him while he insisted they break up. So, she had hatched the plan to throw chemical on his face.

She purchased a bottle of house-cleaning chemical and carried it in a plastic bottle.

Accordingly the police, the accused has been arrested and produced before a court.

The exact nature of the chemical is yet to be ascertained.
