          Apr 23 (UNB) – A young husband frustrated with conjugal life threw
          acid on wife injuring her and her grandmother at Polytechnic Staff
          Quarter in the town on Saturday night. 
           
          
           
          Humayun
          Kabir (25), the husband, was held by neighbours when trying to flee
          after throwing acid on Nayan alias Jainab (18) and handed over to the
          police. 
           
          
           
          Informed
          sources said Kabir, worker of a biscuit factory, threw acid on her
          newly married wife Nayan through the window when she along with her
          grandmother Halima Khatun (60) were sleeping at dead of night. 
           
          
           
          They
          were married barely 9 months ago but most of the time Nayan used to
          live in her parents’ house depriving Kabir of his conjugal life. 
           
          
           
          The
          face, shoulder and body of Nayan were burnt in the acid. Both the
          victims were immediately taken to Sadar Hospital and admitted there.
