Man Pours Boiled Water On Girl’s Face Over Facebook Unfriending

A schoolgirl has suffered severe burns after an older boy poured boiling water over her face because she UN-friended him on Facebook. The boy broke into the teenage girl’s house and locked her and her mother in a room before attacking the girl with a pot of boiling water in the city of Muzaffarpur in northern Bihar, India yesterday.

Just weeks before the attack the girl had un-friended him on the social networking site because he starting posting strange comments on her Facebook wall. While he held the mother and daughter captive, he boiled some water in the kitchen then proceeded to pour it over the girl’s face.

Police have now begun a manhunt for the boy, an intermediate student, who fled the scene. The victim, an Indian class eight student, was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
