Amaravati, August 11: A disgruntled 44-year-old widow's alleged attempt to attack her former lover with 'acid' in the run-up to his wedding in Nandalur on Sunday ended up in the marriage getting cancelled, a police official said. Around 11 am, Jaya, a former software engineer from Tirupati, who has a 22-year-old son, came to the venue of the wedding at Aravapalli village in Nandalur mandal to confront Sheikh Syed (32), who was preparing to marry another woman without her knowledge.

According to police, both were in a relationship for about 10 years but in the last three years Syed had left for Kuwait to work as a driver. He returned to India and was ready to get married on Sunday. Acid Attack in Lucknow: Woman, Cousin Sustain Burn Injuries in Acid Attack by Unidentified Man in Chowk Area.
