A woman, who was attacked with acid allegedly by her husband three weeks ago, died at Dhaka Medical College Hospital’s burnt unit early yesterday.
Sajeda Begum, 25, of Salisha village in Magura, lived in Ashulia with her husband Sohag Munsi and son Akash.
Sajeda sustained 25% burn, said the burn unit’s resident surgeon Dr Partha Shankar Paul.
Sohag has been absconding since the attack, police told the Dhaka Tribune.
Sajeda will be buried in her hometown in Magura. Her son Akash is currently staying with her parents.
Sajeda’s cousin Ekramul Kabir claimed that Sohag threw acid at her while she was asleep on October 25. “Sohag demanded Tk2 lakh in dowry days before the attack.”
