http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/bangladesh/8546679/Bangladesh-woman-cut-off-attackers-penis.htmlA Bangladeshi woman cut off a man's penis during an alleged attempt to rape her and took it to a police station as evidence.
Monju Begum, 40, a married mother of three, was allegedly attacked as she slept in her shanty in Mirzapur village, Jhalakathi, about 125 miles south of Bangladesh's capital, Dhaka.
Mrs Begum told police that her neighbour Mozammel Haq Mazi, forced his way into her home and began attacking her. During the alleged assault, Mrs Begum said she was able to cut off Mr Mazi’s penis.
"As he tried to rape her, the lady cut his penis off with a knife. She then wrapped up the penis in a piece of polythene and brought it to the Jhalakathi police station as evidence of the crime," said Abul Khaer, the local police chief.
"It is quite an unusual incident. As far as I am aware, this is the first time that a woman has brought a severed penis to the police station as evidence."
Mr Mazi, who denies the accusation, has been admitted to a nearby hospital. A surgeon said it had not been possible to reattach the organ.
"We shall arrest him once his condition gets better," Khaer added.
Mrs Begum told police that Mr Mazi, a married father of five, had been harassing her for six months.
Mr Mazi’s said that he had been having an affair with Mrs Begum, but that he refused to leave his wife and that she had sought revenge by cutting off his penis.
"We were having an affair and recently she suggested that both of us can go and settle down in Dhaka," Mr Mazi told the BBC from hospital.
"I refused and told her that I cannot leave my wife and children, so she took revenge on me."
The severed penis has been kept at the police station.
