Teacher acid-attacked

| Sep 7, 2011
KANIGIRI (Prakasam): A school teacher was seriously injured when some unidentified miscreants attacked her with acid in the early hours of Monday. However, the incident came to light only on Tuesday after the relatives of the woman approached the police.
The 26-year-old woman, who is working as a physical education teacher at Kasturba Ashram Girls School at Veligandla mandal headquarters near Kanigiri, was in deep sleep outside her residence in her native Mogallur village when the offenders attacked her.
She suffered burns on her face and body parts in the acid attack. Jyothi woke up screaming and shouting, but the assailants fled the scene by the time the neighbours came to her rescue. She was rushed to a private hospital at Kanigiri. Doctors said the teacher is out of danger.Upon information provided by the victim, police have launched a search for one Koteswara Rao of Mogallur.
She told the police that Rao had been pestering her to marry him for the past few months. "He may have resorted to the attack as I had turned down his proposal," she told the cops, who suspect that at least two persons are behind the attack.
