The incident has been reported from Khopnikuchi area of Hajo in Assam. The culprits threw acid through a window.
According to family sources, the daughter was the target of the attackers as she was receiving increasingly serious threats from a young man who was infatuated with her but she was ignoring him.
The man had made repeated advances which she rebuffed, leading to a series of intimidating warnings. The family had temporarily moved the girl and her mother to her maternal uncle’s home in Khopnikuchi out of fear for their safety.
