Kathmandu, Aug 22 (UNI) Three years ago early on a February morning, 16-year-old Sangita Magar had just arrived at a prep class for her high school exams in Kathmandu.
Her friend Seema Basnet was asking Magar for help with an accounting problem when the door flung open and someone threw liquid in Magar's face, splashing Basnet too.
Magar later learned that her attacker, Jiwan BK, was a tenant in the apartment building where she lived with her family. According to Magar, BK had gotten into a fight with her brother about the shared bathroom in the building and took it out on Magar by attacking her with acid.
