KOLLAM (KERALA): A 23 year old law student in Kerala allegedly chopped off the penis of a self-styled godman, who had reportedly been raping her for several years at her own house. The rapist, identified as Swami Ganeshananda, is accused of first assaulting the girl when she was 16, and would often come to their home to meet her mother, raping her, whenever he got the opportunity. When the accused showed up at their house last week, and tried to force himself on her, she got hold of a knife and chopped off his penis. The victim immediately called the police after the incident. “It's a courageous and strong act by the woman,” said Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. The police have registered a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act.
