In a bizarre incident, a jilted girl threw acid on her former lover after he reportedly married another girl, in Venigandla of Guntur district on Tuesday night.
The man, who suffered severe burns, breathed his last in the Guntur Government General Hospital.
According to reports, Himabindu and Illyas were in a sexual relationship for over four years. But recently the man married another girl. Himabindu, who was upset with the betrayal, lured him to come to one Arjun Rao's house. She gained entry saying she was the sister of one Khasim, who is Arjun Rao's friend.
Illyas went there through the back door. However a few moments later he came out running out of the house crying for help. The locals rushed him to the hospital, where he died later.
Himabindu reportedly poured sulphuric acid into Iliyas' mouth and also threw some of it on his person. The girl, too, reportedly suffered some burns while throwing the acid, but managed to flee from the spot.
Mangalagiri CI Brahmaiah said that two police teams were pressed into service to nab the girl, and managed to nab here and two men who allegedly helped her.
