A 20-year-old married woman and her lover suffered burn wounds after acid was flung on them allegedly by her estranged husband and former live-in partner in Nalasopara in Maharashtra's Palghar district, a police official said on Thursday.

The woman had left her husband due to domestic disputes and then started living with a man, he said.

''She left this live-in partner as well and moved in with a third person. This angered her husband and former live-in partner, who allegedly flung acid on the two while they were sleeping on Monday night,'' he said.

''The woman and her lover are undergoing treatment in a nearby hospital. A case was registered on Tuesday and efforts are on to nab the two accused,'' the Pelhar police station official added.
