A crazy teen took
revenge on a girl by burning her face with boiling water after she
unfriended him on Facebook, according to police in India.
The Independent reports that the boy, from Bihar state in northern
India, came to the 15-year-old victim’s house on Wednesday and
said he had left his I.D. in the home. He then allegedly shoved the
girl’s mother aside and poured water on the victim’s face.
The Times of India reported that the girl was taken to a hospital
where she’s being treated for burns to 20 percent of her face
including her right cheek and right side of her neck.
Police are currently looking for him after he fled, following the
incident. He is an undergraduate student at a Muzaffarpur college.
In a translation of a statement to police obtained by the Hindustan
Times, the victim said, “My father is a teacher and he (the accused)
used to come for tuitions to our home. I accepted his (Facebook)
friend request a year ago because I found him decent then. But of
late he had become abusive and so I unfriended him last week.”
Gawker reports that “with Facebook steadily becoming the exclusive
means of communication among teens in India, tragic news stories
involving young Indian Facebook users are similarly on the rise.”
In October, a 17-year-old Indian girl reportedly committed suicide
after her parents banned her from Facebook, according to the Indo-
Asian News Service.
