A woman who survived an alleged gang rape and four separate acid attacks has again had corrosive liquid poured over her, Indian police said on Sunday.
The 35-year-old mother was at a women’s hostel in Uttar Pradesh state capital Lucknow when a man scaled the walls and poured the chemical on to her. “She was filling water at the hand pump when the attack took place. The attacker fled from the spot,” said Vivek Tripathi, a local police chief.
Due to the previous string of attacks the woman was under round-the-clock police protection, but the armed policeman was barred from entering the women’s hostel.
Police have launched a manhunt to identify the assailant, the officer said.
