In a bizarre incident, a youth cut off his genitals and threw it in a Yajna Kunda in Nayagarh district on Sunday.

The 24-year-old youth of Shathipalli village under the Nayagarh Town police limits chopped off his penis and sacrificed it in Yajna Kunda after his love proposal was rejected by a girl.

The youth was reportedly having a one-sided love affair with the girl from the same village. As his proposal was spurned, he got frustrated.

The youth was initially admitted to the District Headquarters Hospital in critical condition and later shifted to the Capital Hospital, Bhubaneswar when his condition worsened.
