Delhi Police on Sunday arrested the 23-year-old woman who allegedly chopped off the genital of her 35-year-old boyfriend at her residence in Outer Delhi's Mangolpuri area and escaped. The accused told police that after the incident, she fled to Punjab. "Once she thought that the matter cooled down, she returned to Delhi on Sunday and based on a tip-off, we arrested her from Mangolpuri on Sunday evening and the weapon used to commit the crime was also recovered. She said that she stayed at different gurudwaras," said a senior police officer.
Senior police officers said that she confessed to have committed the crime after being enraged as he had accused her of infidelity and had refused to marry her.
Police said that on the intervening night of June 21 and 22, Ravi (35), a street vendor, was allegedly attacked at his girlfriend's house in outer Delhi's Mangolpuri where he was called by the girl's sister-in-law.
After attacking him, the woman fled along with her brother and sister-in-law. Her brother and sister-in-law were apprehended on Saturday. During questioning, they disclosed that the woman had fled to Punjab after the incident and stayed at gurdwaras there.
During questioning, the accused revealed that Ravi had started avoiding her and had snapped all ties with her. She also claimed that he did not trust her and accused her of being in touch with other men. The woman was enraged at his indifferent behaviour and on the day of the incident, she had called him to clear things out, police said. When Ravi reached her home, she 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. She allegedly threatened him of dire consequences if he did not give in to her demand. Enraged at his refusal, the accused chopped off the man's genitals with a kitchen knife.
The victim said the woman's brother and sister-in-law were present at the house when the incident took place and alleged that they did nothing to stop the woman from attacking him. After the attack, Ravi rushed out of the house shouting for help. Some neighbours informed the police and rushed him to hospital. Police said that the victim is still hospitalised.
