KARACHI: A man in Karachi attacked his wife—a female police constable—with acid in the Saeedabad area and fled with their child, a private TV channel reported, citing police.
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Keamari Faizan Ali stated that the victim is a constable in the Balochistan police and a resident of Hub. The attacker fled after throwing acid at her.
SSP Keamari said that 30 percent of the victim’s body has been affected, and she is being treated at the burns center of Dr. Ruth KM Pfau Civil Hospital Karachi.
