Meanwhile, Panna said that some miscreants attempted to kill her by throwing acid on her after breaking open the glass of the windrow around 2am.

The victim's son Abdur Rahman Tanim claimed that his father carried out the attack in a bid kill his mother as the couple has an altercation over his father's second marriage.
