A 40-year-old man has been detained for allegedly throwing acid on a woman here, police said.
Pappu Singh threw acid on the 30-year-old woman, who is his neighbour, while she was returning home from a market yesterday evening, they said.
Police suspected that this is the result of a family feud between Singh and the woman.
The woman, seriously injured, was admitted to the Howrah district hospital, they said.
