hiruvananthapuram: A 23-year-old girl on Friday chopped off the genital of a 54-year-old Swami, after allegedly being subjected to sexual harassment for the past five years.
Swami Ganeshananda, also known as or Hari Swami, is a member of the Panmana Ashram in Kollam.
He was brought to Thiruvananthapuram Medical College hospital at around 12.40 am on Friday, with his genital severed almost 90 percent, a hospital statement said.
A team of medical professionals conducted a plastic surgery on the Swami, and is now out of danger, the statement said.
Such an act by anyone especially when it comes under the guise of a religious tag, irrespective of the religion, is in no way acceptable, as such people should be role models to all, Devi said.
Meanwhile, the police were confused on what legal proceedings needed to be taken against the girl.
According to the law student, the Swami used to visit her home frequently to conduct religious ceremonies. The girl was under duress from Class 12, she said.
After being unable to bear this excess, she on Friday night slashed the Swami`s genital with a knife.
The Kerala Police has registered a case against the Swami.
Prameela Devi, a member of the Kerala State Women`s Commission, said she was proud of the girl for doing this.
