On January 9, a 22-year-old female school teacher was injured in an acid attack in the Shahdara Town area of Lahore over the refusal of a marriage proposal. 

On the day of the incident, she along with her brother was en route to school when the suspects, identified as Umar Farooq and Ghulam Mustafa, approached and threw acid on the victim.

She received serious burn injuries and was admitted to the hospital. The suspects fled the scene but Farooq — the prime suspect — was arrested later.
