Kerala Law Student Chops Off Genitals Of ‘Godman’ Who Allegedly Raped Her For Eight Years

Taking law into own hand sometimes becomes inevitable as it happened in the case of a 23-year-old Law student, who reportedly chopped off the genitals of a ‘godman’ who had allegedly been sexually abusing her for over eight years.

The police have also registered a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

The accused has been identified as Swami Gangeshananda, who belongs to an ashram in Kollam.

Reacting to the incident, the Chief Minister of Kerala, while speaking at a press conference, termed this a "brave step". It is a good thing what the girl did, he said.

The statement issued by the hospital, where the ‘godman’ has been admitted, read like this: "A 54-year-old man from Kollam was admitted at 12.39 am to the hospital on Saturday. His penis had been cut (90%) and was hanging precariously. There was no way it could be stitched back. Plastic surgeons, who are urology experts in the hospital, did emergency surgery to stop the blood loss and to enable him to pass urine."
