A woman who was attacked with acid by six men on motorbikes last week and had been undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh succumbed to her burn injuries on Wednesday, police said.
Eluru district superintendent of police D Mary Prasanthi confirmed to PTI on Wednesday that Fransica died while undergoing treatment in Vijayawada.
On June 13, around 9 pm when Yedla Fransica (35) was returning from her workplace and was just 100 yards away from her home, the accused Satish and five other men riding two-wheelers waylaid her and threw acid on her face and torso.
According to police, Satish resorted to the crime because he bore a grudge against Fransica for objecting to his relationship with her sister.
