Raped student cuts off swami’s penis
A godman has been deprived of his manhood by a 23-year-old law student who slashed his vital organ when he tried to rape her at Kannamoola, near here, on Friday night. He had been abusing her since her school days, it is said.
The police said the woman used a knife to cut off the genitals of Swami Gangeshananda Theerthapada alias Hari, 54, of Kollam district when he sexually attacked her around 11.30 pm. A police team, which reached the spot after receiving a call from the girl, admitted the swami to the Government Medical College Hospital where he underwent an emergency surgery as he had suffered 90 per cent cut on his vital organ. Hospital sources said he was stable now. He might be able to pass urine but would not be able to indulge in sexual acts, they said.
A godman Swami Gangeshananda Theerthapada has been deprived of his manhood by a 23-year-old law student who slashed his vital organ when he tried to rape her at Kannamoola, near here, on Friday night.
The swami was booked for rape under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act. The police took the statement of the girl but no case was registered against him, said Inspector-General Manoj Abraham.
The police said the family of the girl had been associated with the godman eight years ago when he started offering special pujas for the recovery of her paralysed and bed-ridden father, an ex-service man.
The godman first claimed he injured himself. However, he later retracted it and gave a statement that the woman had attacked him. Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan applauded the girl for bold action and offered to support her.
