A man in Mumbai allegedly poured acid on his wife’s face after she asked for a divorce over his affair with another woman, officials said today.

The 27-year-old woman was at her mother’s residence in Malad when the accused, 34, allegedly threw acid on her on Wednesday morning.

She suffered burns and facial injuries and is undergoing treatment at a hospital.
