Acid violence on wane across country
Good to see B-desh doing something about it. Bad that they have the attacks in the first place.
Sick and thirsty housewife Popy Rani was too weak to move and has been failing to manage a glass of water. She sought help from her husband Prodip Bonik. Cruel Prodip brought a glass of acid for her. She drank the same in good faith, but landed in a hospital in a critical condition.(BSS, Dhaka)

After struggling many months for life Popy somehow managed to survive. And Acid Survivors Foundation (ASF) took over the responsibility of her. Subsequently mother of the victim filed a case against criminal Pradip.

According to available statistics, a total of 50 people suffered injuries in acid attacks in the first four moths of the current year (2010). While 145 people fell victims to such attacks in the year 2009, 179 in 2008, 192 in 2007.
