Vijayawada: A newly-married man died in an acid attack by a girl, with whom he had an alleged affair before the marriage, in Andhra Pradesh's Guntur district, police said.
The shocking incident took place in Venigandla village of Guntur district on Tuesday but came to light on Wednesday.
Sheikh Mohammed Ilyas (24), who suffered serious injuries in the attack, succumbed at the Government Hospital, Guntur.
