A man in Kandhkot doused an acquaintance with acid after the latter allegedly turned down the former’s offer of friendship here in the city’s Munshi Muhabbat Khan Dahani village on Tuesday, a local police official confirmed.
According to the Kashmore district Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Syed Asad Raza Shah, the suspect — identified as Jamil Shah — threw acid on another man for not wanting to be friends with him. “Jamil Shah was later arrested,” the SSP added.
The young man who was attacked sustained burn wounds on almost 40 per cent of his body was shifted from Kandhkot to Larkana for treatment, sources at a local hospital noted.
