Delhi: Woman arrested for chopping off genitals of boyfriend

Police on Sunday arrested a 23-year-old woman who allegedly chopped off the genitals of her boyfriend after he refused to marry her.

Ravi (35), a street vendor, was allegedly attacked at his girlfriend’s house in outer Delhi’s Mangolpuri late on Wednesday, where he was called by her relative, police said.

When he reached their home, his girlfriend of four years, broached the topic of marriage. However, Ravi refused, saying his family was against it.

The victim told police that the woman then pushed him inside the bathroom, undressed him and forced him to have sex with her.

The woman and her family members had fled their house after the attack. Her brother and sister-in-law were found yesterday and questioned.

The woman was arrested and police have also recovered the weapon of offence.
