Peermade: An accused in a rape case has bobbitised himself inside the jail. The incident happened on Wednesday at the Peermade subjail.
Kumali Dymukku native Churuli, 42, was taken to Kottayam Medical College where an emergency operation was conducted on him. Hospital authorities confirmed that he is out of danger.
The incident took place inside the jail cell on Wednesday morning. It was other jail inmates who spotted a bleeding Churuli after he mostly cut off his genitals. Jail authorities took him to the taluk hospital from where he was taken to the medical college.
Jail authorities said that the man used a blade given for the purpose of shaving to cut his genital. Jail inmates are allowed to shave usually on Tuesdays. Churuli, who was arrested four months ago on charges of raping a minor girl, was granted bail but had to continue in remand since no guarantor turned up.
