Shabnam and Sajid were returning home last evening when the couple entered into a verbal fight in their car, after which the husband started assaulting her in the vehicle, they said.
The man chased her after she started running away from him and reportedly threw acid on her, police said.
Victim Shabnam had returned to her parents' house about one week ago after a domestic dispute. She was allowed to go back after the husband's parents gave an assurance over the matter, according to the police.
