The 70-year-old is a resident of Adarsha village of Gurudashpur upazila.
Her family members said the victim’s college-going granddaughter had been facing harassment and stalking for a long time.
The girl, along with her grandmother, was going towards the outhouse around 2:00am when criminals threw acid at the girl.
The girl’s mother said, “My daughter managed to save herself, but my mother was severely injured in the attack.”
The elderly woman was initially admitted to the Gurudashpur Upazila Health Complex. Later, she was moved to Natore General Hospital as her condition deteriorated.
