Agra: A Russian woman tourist sustained severe burns after unidentified masked youth on motorcycles threw acid on her, the police said on Thursday.
The incident occurred when Katrina (35), a Russian tourist, left her hotel room with her friend Masiba (25) for dinner on Wednesday night, they said.
Some youth on motorbikes allegedly opened fire with an intention to rob them at Phool Saiyyed crossing in Sadar area.
