After being scolded by the home guard for improper parking, the accused, Ashok Ravat, threw acid from a bottle he brought from his home, Gandhinagar superintendent of police Ravi Teja Vasamsetty said.

He said the home guard escaped with minor burn injuries as only a few drops of acid fell on her back.

The home guard was on her traffic duty at Chhatral overbridge when Ravat arrived there in his autorickshaw and parked it improperly.

He said the injured home guard was admitted to a hospital for treatment, while the accused was arrested on the spot.
