KALYAN: A 47-year-old Dombivli woman, along with two associates, chopped off the genitals of her neighbour, Tushar Pujare, 27, who had allegedly been harassing her for sexual favours for the past couple of months.After ‘bobbitising’ him on Tuesday, the woman took Pujare to a hospital to save his life and confessed to the crime. Pujare, who works as a sales executive in the loan department of a multinational bank, is critical and has been admitted in ICU. The term ‘bobbitising’, after Lorena Bobbitt sliced off her husband’s penis in 1983, is widely used to denote attacks on a man’s genitals.The woman and her associates were arrested by Manpada police later on Tuesday for attempt to murder.The police said the woman and Pujare are residents of Nandivali in Dombivli (E). “Pujare was in love with the married woman and had been pestering her for sexual favours. He had been stalking her despite his advances being rejected,” said the police.In her police statement, the woman claimed that a fortnight ago, Pujare met her husband and told him that he was in love with his wife and wanted to marry her.The woman said this led to a dispute between her and her husband. “Following a fight with her husband, the woman got angry and decided to teach Pujare a lesson. She contacted two youngsters from the area—Tejas Mahatre (22) and Pravin Kenia (25)—and sought their help. On Tuesday, Mhatre and Kenia summoned Pujare for a meeting at an isolated place on the pretext of a loan. When Pujare reached the spot, the duo manhandled him,” says the FIR.Later, the woman, who too was at the spot, asked the youths to hold Pujare while she chopped off his genitals with a sharp knife, said an officer. The woman has said she wanted to save Pujare’s life and so, rushed him to the nearby Life Care hospital, where she also confessed to the crime. As Pujare’s condition deteriorated, doctors shifted him to AIMS hospital, where he has been kept in ICU on ventilator.Dr Milind Shirodkar, director of AIMS hospital, said, “The condition of the patient is critical. He is still unconscious and the next 48 hours will be crucial for him.”The police said initially, the woman told them that she alone committed the crime. However, when the cops refused to believe her and interrogated her further, she spilled the beans on her associates. “On the basis of the woman’s confession, we arrested Mhatre and Kenia too,” said Gajanan Kabdule, senior inspector at Manpada police station. The police have recovered the genitals as well as the knife used for the crime.A relative of Kenia said, “We do not understand how he got involved in the crime. His life is ruined now.”
