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.
