Bhopal: A 21-year-old girl blindfolded her 23-year-old boyfriend and hacked off his private parts in Madhya Pradesh's Sidhi district on Monday, to ascertain that he didn’t sleep with other women.

According to media reports, the boyfriend was set to marry another girl as the couple’s parents were not supportive of their relationship due to caste issues.

The police have arrested the accused girl and booked her under relevant sections of IPC. The reaping-hook used in the incident along with chopped part of the victim were also recovered using the information given by the girl.

They also said that the incident occurred on the intervening night of January 23-24 in which 21-year old girl bobbitised the victim using a reaping hook.

As part of a game, the girlfriend had blindfolded the victim following which she severed off his private parts. Initially, the victim had tried to hide the incident. But his parents discovered after he started to writhe in pain. Also, his room was covered with blood.

The girl and the victim are residents of Naugawan (Darshan Singh) village under Kotwali police station of the city.

"The girl was in a relationship with the youth since past 3-4 years. She was unhappy as the boy's marriage was arranged with another girl of his own caste from same village," Kotwali Police Police station in-charge Anil Upadhyay informed.

In an attempt to protect his girlfriend, the victim told the doctor that he had cut himself. However, police investigations revealed that the act was committed by the girl.
