Hyderabad: A 26-year-old man was on Friday arrested for allegedly attacking a woman with acid after she declined his marriage proposal in Adilabad district of Telangana, police said.

Mohd Muneem, an employee in a private company here, was in a relationship for the past five years with a 24-year-old woman but she kept postponing his marriage proposal, Nirmal town police station Inspector Prashant Reddy said.

Apparently upset over the victim's refusal to marry him, Muneem got into an argument with the woman on Friday following which he poured acid on her head, Reddy said.

The woman was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital. She suffered minor injuries, Reddy told PTI over phone.


Police registered a case under section 307 (attempt to murder), 506 (intimidation) and 326-A (dealing exclusively with acid attack incidents) of IPC against Muneem, the Inspector said.
