A man had his genitals chopped off by a spurned lover in Malappuram, a city in the Indian state of Kerala, after she found out he was marrying another woman, Mail Online reported.

The injured man, named only as 26-year-old Irshad, met up with his lover, 30, for 'one last time' before he was due to tie the knot with a bride of their parents' choice.

The scorned lover invited him to a guest house in Malappuram's Kattipuram area, where she cut off his genitals with a knife on Tuesday, it is claimed.

Adjoining guests heard him scream and they rushed him to MIMS Hospital in Kozhikode, where he is still undergoing treatment.

He added that the victim had suffered a partial cut and was first taken to a local hospital but had to be transferred later.

Woman found guilty of tricking female friend into sex using fake penis

Police have refused to divulge any further information, saying that the case is under investigation.

This is not the first case where a woman has cut off a man’s genitals. In July this year, a Tamil Nadu woman was accused of chopping off her husband's genitals after a fight over his extramarital affair. A Bengali woman had also allegedly resorted to a similar brutal act in July as she was unhappy with her marriage.

A few months ago, a woman had chopped off the genitals of a swami in Kerala. She had said that she had to take such a drastic step as she was being sexually assaulted by him for about seven years. The woman, however, later changed her statement in court.
