Two unidentified miscreants attacked a woman with acid at Arebuddivantanahalli under Manchenhalli police limits in Gowribidnur taluk in Chickaballapur district.
The incident occurred at around 6.45 a.m. on Monday when 34-year-old Lakshmamma, a help in a private school at Manchenahalli, was walking near a petrol bunk. She has suffered 25 per cent burns and is out of danger, said the police.
The acid fell on her hand and the face and she rubbed her face as she was unaware of the fact that the substance was acid. The victim was treated at Government Hospital in Gowribidnur.
While one assailant was wearing a full-face helmet, another had covered his face with a shawl when they attacked the woman. The motive for the acid attack was not yet known. Manchenahalli police have registered a case and are investigating.
