Woman attacked by ex-husband with acid for making TikTok videos dies
Earlier this month, a woman who had sustained burn wounds after her former husband threw acid on her for making TikTok videos succumbed to her injuries.
According to details, the woman, identified as Rimsha, was attacked with acid by her husband while she was on her way to the office on August 21. She died on Sunday after battling the burn wounds for nearly three weeks.
Previously, the acid attack victim in the Saeedabad Town had said that her former husband awaited outside her residence when she left for work and then chased her when she suspected an ambush and tried running.
I stepped outside of my house and found my ex-husband sitting idly on the corner of the street, not knowing of his imminent plans, Rimsha said.
