BHUBANESWAR: A newly married woman cut off the genitals of her husband with a blade, when he was asleep inside his house at Badasiali village under Jashipur police limits in Odisha’s Mayurbhanj district, nearly 450 km from here. According to the police, the young couple who got married two months ago had a quarrel at night on July 31. At around 2 am, the wife emasculated her husband Pradip Majhi's genitals with a blade.
As the man screamed in pain and began bleeding profusely, the family members woke up and rushed him to Karanjia Hospital. The doctors immediately operated upon the mutilated genitals.
“After surgery, the patient is doing well now and he is out of danger,” said doctors treating Pradip. “The police registered a case against the accused under Sections 307 (attempt to murder) and 324 (causing hurt by dangerous weapon). Probe is on to ascertain the motive behind the woman’s assault on her husband,” said inspector Pradeep Das of Jashipur police station.
Sources said the couple who got married on June 22 had never had a good relationship and they fought on different family-related issues. Neighbours who did not want to be quoted said the woman was very often subjected to physical torture by her husband as she complained about some of his “objectionable” behaviour and activities.
