TOBA TEK SINGH, March 26. A woman was injured critically when her husband threw acid on her late on Friday night.

Shamshad's first husband Nawab Din was murdered by his opponents over a property dispute sometime ago. Later, she was forced to marry Din's younger brother Muhammad Ishaq. Soon after the marriage, she developed differences with Ishaq and went to her parents.

Two days ago, Ishaq went to his in-laws, 'reconciled' with his wife and took her to his house. On Friday night, Ishaq tortured Shamshad and later threw acid on her. She was unconscious and being treated at the Kamalia Tehsil Headquarters Hospital. RAPE:
