In an act of self-defence, a 23-year-old woman chopped off a godman’s penis on Friday, who had been reportedly assaulting her sexually for several years.
According to a report in the media, the accused Sreehari alias Ganeshananda Theerthapada Swami, a 54-year-old ‘swami’ had allegedly raped her multiple times since her high school days.
After she had committed the act, the victim had called the Thiruvananthapuram police to inform them about her assault. She also confessed that she had done so as an act of vengeance and in self-defence to the swami’s actions.
The victims’ parents were followers of the Swami who belongs to an ashram in Padmana in Kollam, Kerala.
The report further stated that Swami, who was in a critical condition, was later admitted to the Medical College hospital on Saturday around 12:30 am. The incident reportedly happened on Friday at 11:30 pm, according to the police.
“She knew that no one would believe her if she said she had been sexually assaulted by a man of god.
