September 6th, 2011 - 12:48 am ICT by IANSNew Delhi, Sep 5 (IANS) A 25-year-old woman who threw acid on the face of her boyfriend after he backed out of his promise to marry her, was sent to a mental hospital Monday for observation, police said.
Arti Dikshit, a resident of Yamuna Vihar, attacked Vineet Kumar, 27, at Cross River Mall in Anand Vihar Sunday. She feared that he was about to desert her, police said.
Dikshit was arrested and produced before a city court. The court sent her to the Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Sciences (IHBAS) Mental hospital in Shahdara in east Delhi for medical observation and asked the police to submit a report Tuesday before sending her to judicial custody.
“She is kept under observation. She will be produced before the metropolitan magistrate Tuesday,” police said.
Meanwhile, police said, Vineet’s condition is stable. “The maximum acid injury was on his face,” Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Asif Mohammad Ali told IANS.
Arti called Vineet, a resident of Maujpur, Sunday afternoon to the mall on the pretext of watching a movie. After spending two hours, they entered into an alteration over the issue of marriage, police said.
During the argument, she took out an acid bottle from her purse and threw acid on Vineet’s face. Vineet suffered 45 percent burn injuries.
Police, then, arrested her from Surajmal Vihar, near the mall.
