Lahore: Woman chops off blackmailer’s genitals

A woman allegedly cut off the genitals of her ‘lover’ in Lahore’s Harbanspura area on Tuesday.

Police say the ‘culprit’ was enraged over the victim trying to blackmail and harass her.

According to the complaint, the 37-year-old resident of the Vehari district moved to Lahore six months ago for work. He claimed that he had a tryst with the woman, who also lived in the same area, for the last 18 years.

The ‘victim’ claimed that the woman had called him over to her place a few days back, adding that, “She attacked me with a sharp weapon and slashed my genitals and then locked me in a room and left me there”.

He said he cried out for help and the neighbors shifted him to the hospital.

The police registered a case, recorded statements of witnesses, and collected forensic evidence from the crime scene.

The victim was involved in harassing and blackmailing the suspect that prompted her to take this step as a ‘self-defense’ move.

The man claims a longstanding sexual relationship with the attacker.

In a similar incident earlier this year, a 25-year-old woman cut the genitals of a 28-year-old man in Faisalabad.

The man had reportedly tried to sexually assault the woman when she was alone at home. She then proceeded to grab a knife from the kitchen and attacked him.

The man, who is named as Faisal Shahzad, was about to marry in the city of Jaranwala of Punjab’s Faisalabad district.

Initial investigation has revealed that the man and the woman knew each other as they were neighbors. The man was about to marry another woman but on the night of January 30, he went to the house of 25-year-old Mudassir Bibi for unexplained reasons.

Police said officer that when the man arrived, the woman allegedly attacked the man ‘as an act of revenge’ and cut off his genitals.

However, according to the FIR filed by the woman’s family, the woman told police she was alone at home when the man broke in and tried to overpower her. The woman then ran to the kitchen, grabbed a knife, and cut off his penis when he again tried to assault her.

Unfortunately, rapes cases are soaring in the country. However, the government of Pakistan toiling to curb the growing menace is appreciable.
