Acid attack by sacked help

TIMES NEWS NETWORK 

Kolkata: A 48-year-old homemaker in Salt Lake was seriously injured after her domestic help threw acid for sacking her. 
    Shampa Sinha, a resident of Shyamali Abason, has suffered injuries in her eyes. 
    Her husband, Gautam Sinha, is a government employee posted in Behrampore. Last month, Gautam’s mother had come to stay at the couple’s flat to spend a few days, for whom he had hired a fulltime nurse, Subhra Das, from a nursing centre from nearby Sukantanagar. 
    After a few days, however, Gautam discontinued her because he was not happy with her work. A new nurse was hired in her place. 
    According to Shampa’s complaint lodged with the police, Das came back to the flat at 11.30am on Friday, saying she had left behind some clothes, which she wanted to take back. She was carrying a bag with her. She entered the bathroom and suddenly came out wearing gloves and carrying a mug in her hand. She reportedly said she wanted to play Holi with Shampa and approached her. Suddenly, Das brought out a bottle of acid from her bag and sprinkled the acid on Shampa’s face. 
    As Shampa screamed out, Das tried to snatch her gold necklace. As the two scuffled, Das even tried to bite her. 
    Neighbours rushed in to help after hearing Shampa scream. Das was caught red-handed and the Bidhannagar South police station alerted. 
    Officers came to the spot and arrested Das. “The motive behind the act is yet to be clear. A probe is on,” said a senior officer.
