The Vijayanagar police in Bengaluru arrested a 26-year-old woman on Tuesday  for allegedly attacking her boyfriend with acid.

According to the police, Lidiya, a nurse at a private hospital in the city, attacked 32-year-old Jayakumar after the latter refused to marry her. The two, residents of Srirampura, were reportedly in a relationship for nearly four years, and despite her expressing her desire to get married, Jayakumar was planning to marry someone else.

Irked by this, Lidiya allegedly threw acid on Jayakumar’s face and slashed it using a surgical blade on Monday evening.

Jayakumar, who is a cloth merchant, sustained injuries on the right side of his face and is currently undergoing treatment at a private hospital in the city.
