Four sisters, all of whom are teachers, suffered serious burn injuries when two unidentified motorcycle-borne men threw acid on them in Uttar Pradesh's Shamli district, police said today.
One of the victims has "severely damaged" her eye and has been shifted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in New Delhi.
Kamerjahan (26), Ayisha (25), Esha (23) and Sanam (20) were attacked when they were returning from Hindu Inter-College in Kandhal after UP board exam duty yesterday, they said.
