Another woman involved in acid attack: Police

Gulbarga, Apr 16 (UNI) The case of an acid attack on a woman yesterday took an interesting turn with the police investigation revealing the involvement of another woman behind the crime.

Talking to UNI here today, Deputy Superintendent of Police (Rural) C K Baba said the culprit Jayashri allegedly had an illicit relationship with a school teacher, who was running a school in Jewargi, about 40 km from here.
