NEW DELHI: A 35-year-old woman became so attached to her driver that she allegedly hired goons to throw acid on him after he had left the job to ply his own cab. The woman, Jaya, has been arrested for plotting the acid attack along with a BAMS doctor she befriended. On April 22, driver Deepak Kumar, 27, was admitted to hospital with burns. He told police that an unidentified man had thrown acid on him near Mahavir Enclave after calling him there for hiring his cab.
Police said Kumar had earlier been beaten up by unidentified assailants soon after he got engaged. The goons had then warned him of dire consequences if he went ahead with his marriage. Jaya’s husband is an NRI engineer working in the US while she lives in Gurgaon.
