Woman, daughter hospitalised with acid burns

BAHAWALPUR: A woman and her two-year-old daughter were admitted to the Bahawal Victoria Hospital with severe acid burns on Wednesday night.

Haji Allah Bakhsh, the victim’s father-in-law, told The News that three gangsters, including Asif, had thrown acid on Safia Bibi of Basti Angasi, Kehror Pakka, and with her daughter Samra a week ago, but the police had not registered the FIR till Thursday. The victim’s husband Akram alleged that police officers had expelled them even from the police station when they reached there to lodge the complaint. He said that they had taken the victims to Kehror Pakka THQ Hospital and then DHQ Hospital Lodhran for treatment and getting the medical report, but no one paid attention to them. He said that the patients were later referred to Bahawal Victoria Hospital (BVH) for treatment. He said that the accused were very influential.
