A man is battling for his life after his private part was chopped off allegedly by a woman at village Bishunpur under Sahebganj police station area in Muzaffarpur district.
Sahebganj SHO Anup Kumar said the injured person was identified as Harendra Manjhi, 40.
“As per our information, he is presently undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Patna.
Doctors have managed to reattach his chopped private part but his condition is still reported to be serious,” he said.
He said that the incident took place on May 8 and the accused woman, Pavitri Devi (32), was arrested and sent to jail the next day after an FIR was lodged by Manjhi’s wife Paspati Devi against her and one Pappu Bhagat.
“She has alleged that Pavitri allured her husband and conspired with Bhagat to chop off his private part,” he said.
Kumar said police came to know in the course of investigation that Pavitri is a married woman but her husband has severed relationship due to her relations with several persons.
“Pappu is one of those with whom she had extramarital relation,” he said and added that Bhagat was evading arrest.
“Villagers told the police that Manjhi had spotted the woman and Bhagat in an objectionable position in the fields after which she lured him too and chopped off his private part with a sharp-edged object used for cutting grass,” he said.
The SHO said Pavitri has also lodged an FIR alleging that Manjhi tried to rape her, but no concrete evidence has surfaced to substantiate her allegations.
Kumar said things would be clear once Bhagat gets arrested.
