Tired of rape, Kerala woman nearly cuts off swami’s penis

The swami, who was known as Sree Hari in his poorvashram, was admitted to the hospital with his penis almost severed.

A 23-year-old law student took revenge on a godman who had allegedly sexually abused her for years, by almost cutting off his penis late on Friday night. The 54-year-old swami, who has links with the Hindu Aikya Vedi, an umbrella organisation of Sangh Parivar outfits, has been charged with rape and offences under the law against sexual abuse of children. The woman, who has not been charged, has been hailed as “courageous” by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.

.....He was revered by the upper-caste Hindu Nair family to which the woman belonged, and had free access to their home in Thiruvananthapuram.

.....The swami, who was known as Sree Hari in his poorvashram, was admitted to the hospital with his penis almost severed. He told the police he had inflicted the injury upon himself, “as it (the organ) was of no use for him”.

A medical college official said, “He was admitted with 90 per cent of the penis severed. The penis could not be sutured. Doctors of urology and plastic surgery departments subjected him to emergency surgery to control bleeding and enable him to pass urine. His condition is stable now.”
