When Dingya's mother attempted to intervene, she was also injured, sustaining burns on both hands. A passing man and his six-year-old daughter were also caught in the attack, receiving acid burns to their limbs. While the mother and daughter were discharged the same day, the daughter sustained injuries to her left leg and the father to his right arm and leg.
