BANGALORE: A painting contractor who suspected that his separated wife was having an affair, blamed it all on her beauty and threw acid on her face on Sunday.
Yelling at the top of his voice that she needn't go to beauty parlours anymore, Kumar, 46, emptied a can containing acid on Gowramma, 37. She fell on to the ground as the hot liquid singed her face and hands and screamed for help, but Kumar took to his heels. This happened at Kubasipalya near Kengeri, off Mysore Road.
Arrested later in the afternoon , Kumar was booked under Sections 307 (attempt to murder) and 498a (subjecting his wife to cruelty). Showing no remorse, Kumar told reporters at Kengeri police station where he was being interrogated : '' I know what I did was a crime. But I have done the right thing. I did what anyone would have done if he knew his wife was cheating on him."
Kumar and Gowramma married 17 years ago and had four children. They were living separately for five years after differences cropped up.
At the hospital, Gowramma had a different story to tell: '' We had a love marriage and things were smooth for some years... Later, it became tough as he used to assault me every night, accusing me of having illicit relationships. Once things became intolerable, I left the house.''
Ironically, only a few hours earlier, Kumar had gone to Gowramma's house in Muddarayanapalya and convinced her to return to him. He told her he had found a new home and wanted her to see it. Kumar took her on his bike, stopped it at Kubasipalya, pulled out a bottle from under the seat and emptied its contents on Gowramma . She was rushed to Shreya Hospital where she is undergoing treatment.
