Nagarkurnool: A Chenchu woman cut off private parts of her husband while he was sleeping after a heated argument in a village under Lingala mandal in the district. Though the incident occurred last week, it came to light on Saturday.
Lingala is the same mandal under which a youngster attempted to die by suicide due to humiliation after police tonsured the heads of three youngsters for combing their hair in front of the Sub-inspector.
In the Bobbit episode, both the husband and wife are from the Chenchu tribe and were reportedly at loggerheads over different issues regularly. Though the exact reasons for the argument was not known this time, the wife got upset with her husband’s behavior, according to reports.
While he was sleeping, the enraged wife cut off his private parts late in the night. Alarmed over his screams, neighbours rushed to his house and shifted him to the Lingala area hospital. With his condition deteriorating, the doctors advised the family members to shift him to Osmania General Hospital in Hyderabad, where he is currently undergoing treatment.
