Criminals threw acid on a housewife at Gouripur village in Shyamnagar upazila early yesterday, leaving her critically injured.
The victim, Fazila Khatun, 45, is wife of Md Golam Rabbani Gazi of the village.
Police quoted family members as saying that criminals threw acid on Fazila through the window of his bedroom while she was asleep at around 12:30am. She sustained severe burn injuries on head, face and chest.
Hearing screams, other family members rushed to Fazila's room and took her to Satkhira Sadar Hospital. They found an empty bottle and a syringe beside the window of the room.
There had been a dispute between the victim's husband Rabbani and another villager named Abul Basher over the ownership of a 30 decimal land for long, police said.
They suspected that the previous enmity between Rabbani and Basher could be the reason behind the acid attack on Fazila.
Contacted, the officer-in-charge of Shyamnagar Police Station said they are trying to nab the culprits.
