PUNE: (May 19) A man working as a welder allegedly thrashed his 25-year-old wife and poured floor cleaning acid on her private parts in Pune district on suspicion that she was having an affair, police said on Monday.

After subjecting her to cruelty, the man stopped his wife from receiving treatment for injuries caused by the assault and acid attack at their home in rural Pune and threatened her with dire consequences if she approached police or revealed about the incident to anyone, they said.

The savage incident took place on April 20 in the Uruli Kanchan area, but came to light nearly a month later when the woman approached police on May 15 and lodged a complaint against her husband.
