The female student, who is pursuing her postgraduate degree at Andhra University in Vishakhapatman, India, allegedly threw acid on her former teacher, as per a report by The Times of India
A postgraduate student allegedly threw acid on her former lecturer outside a government polytechnic college at Nallapadu in Guntur district on Saturday, apparently to take "revenge" from him for reneging on his promise to marry her, police said.
The incident occurred when the young woman, who is currently pursuing PG in mathematics at Andhra University in Visakhapatnam, threw the corrosive substance on Venkataramana at the college gate.
While she tried to conceal her identity by wearing a burqa, the police identified her as Soujanya from Kakani in Guntur district
"Wearing 'burqua' to hide her identity, Soujanya waited at the gate of the government polytechnic college at Nallapadu, where Venkataramana is a lecturer and threw acid on him when he came out during lunch hour," Guntur (South) DSP, KNarasimha, said.

Soujanya used to be a student of Venkataramana. They allegedly had a relationship, and agreed to get married, the DSP said.
The DSP said that Soujanya was earlier a student of Venkataramana when he was teaching in a degree college in Narasaraopet, where they developed intimacy and agreed to enter into wedlock.
But thereafter, she left to do her post graduation in Andhra University in Visakhapatnam and Venkatramana to Nallapadu.
"Venkataramana got married to another woman last year, and he was avoiding Soujanya," Narasimha said, adding that a case will be lodged soon.
