BAREILLY: Three days after her wedding, a 25-year-old woman was found in a naked condition with nearly 40% burn injuries near the Delhi-Lucknow national highway in Bareilly district on Tuesday.
Her condition is critical and the doctor who treated her said the accused had also attempted to strangle her to death but she survived.
The woman got married on April 22 but she returned to her maternal house the next day.
On Tuesday morning, she was found by some locals in the bushes near a medical college in Fatehganj West area.
The woman somehow managed to give her contact details to the police who called her father.
Emergency medical officer Dr JP Maurya said, "She was brought to the ward by police with chemical burn injuries, possibly caused by acid, on her face, neck, arms and chest. There are marks on her neck which suggest that someone tried to strangle her. She was examined by a gynaecologist, ENT surgeon and burn specialist who referred her to a higher medical centre in Lucknow as her condition was deteriorating."
Multiple teams have been deployed by SSP Prabhakar Chaudhary to crack the case. ASP (Bareilly rural), Rajkumar Agarwal, said, "She was found about 20km from her house. We've questioned her husband, but he was unaware of the incident. Her father is yet to give a written complaint. We are also questioning a few suspects."
