FAISALABAD, June 6: A 35-year-old woman who suffered acid burns caused by two unknown motorcyclists a week ago breathed her last at Allied Hospital on Wednesday.

On May 31, motorcyclists threw acid on Azra Miraj of Islamnagar and her seven-year-old daughter Noor Fatima on Risalewala Road, near Sitara Colony, in the limits of Samanabad police. The acid damaged a part of Azra’s face and her arm while her daughter also sustained burns to her leg.

She was admitted to Allied

Hospital in critical condition and remained there for six days before she succumbed to acid burns.

The city police officer told Dawn one of the accused, Ijaz, had been arrested about three days ago and interrogation was under way.

The victim’s family told reporters that Azra had gone to Sitara Colony for the make-up of a groom as she had been running a beauty parlour and was attacked on her way home.

They have appealed to the chief minister and the chief justice of Pakistan seeking speedy justice.
