Neighbour throws acid on woman over property dispute

A woman was seriously injured when her neighbour threw acid at her over a property dispute in Duliaganj area in Govindnagar in Mathura, police said on Wednesday. Nagina's brother Guddan had purchased a house from Abrar, the accused, around eight months back.

However, some more money had to be paid to Abrar. On Tuesday evening, Nagina and her sister Sagina went to the accused house and asked for more time to pay back the due amount.

The accused denied her more time but soon a brawl broke out between the two and in a fit of rage the accused Abrar and his family members threw acid on Nagina's face, injuring her seriously. Abrar has been arrested and a search is on to nab the four other family members of the accused, police said.
