Russian Woman Injured In
Acid Attack In India – Police
Indian police said on Friday in New Delhi
that acid was thrown on the face and
shoulders of a 23-year-old Russian
woman in India, causing severe burns.
Police said Darya Prokina was
hospitalised after her landlord’s son
allegedly attacked her with sulphuric acid
on Thursday night in the northern city of
Varanasi.
Police Officer, Akash Kulhary, said the
woman and the suspect, who were in a
relationship, had an altercation after she
revealed plans to return home.
He said the suspect had fled and the
police were searching for him.
“Prokina came from Moscow some four
months ago and was studying Indian
classical music in Varanasi.
“She holds dual Russian and Bulgarian
citizenship,’’ he said.
Meanwhile, the Kolkata-based non-profit
Acid Survivors Foundation of India, has
said that India records 100 to 500 acid
attacks every year.
The foundation said victims were largely
women and the most common reasons
for the attacks range from revenge for
refusal of marriage proposals or sex,
domestic disputes, dowry demands and
suspicion of infidelity.
