Meanwhile, the victim is still fighting for life at Acid Survivors Foundation in Dhaka. Khabir Sikder, husband of the victim on Sunday told the newsmen here that all three accused--Jabiul Haque, Mojibul Haque and Shamsul Haque-- are threatening him of dire consequences if he did not withdraw the case.
He also alleged that police are not sincere to arrest the accused as they are moving freely in the area.
“My wife Hosneara Begum, mother of three children, is fighting for life as left portion of her body was seriously burnt in the acid attack,” Khabir said.
Contacted, Sub Inspector Shafiqul Islam of local PS said they are 'trying their best' to arrest the accused. “We raided different areas several times to arrest them but failed”, he said.
