The acid attack case at Gurugram's Civil Hospital took a dramatic turn, with a 20-year-old woman alleging that her former boyfriend was the attacker who may have mistakenly targeted another woman.
The woman claimed the man had assaulted her earlier in the day and later came looking for her at the hospital, where another woman was injured in the acid attack.
According to the woman, a resident of Nuh who was visiting her maternal aunt in Subhash Nagar, Sector 5, the man reached there around 5 pm on Sunday and attacked her, injuring her head with a rod.
She added that her family rushed her to the Civil Hospital for treatment, but the man and his wife later arrived there searching for her.
Police said the acid attack took place between 8:15 pm and 8:30 pm on Sunday at the emergency ward of the Civil Hospital in Sector 10.
A man threw acid on a 32-year-old woman from behind and fled, officials said. The victim suffered injuries on her shoulder, neck, cheek and arms and was later referred to PGIMS Rohtak for further treatment.
Gurugram police are examining whether the suspect had intended to target the younger woman or the injured victim.
