In a similar but unrelated incident, an Indian wife has been accused of horrifically chopping off her husband's genitals using a sickle after the couple reportedly got into a violent confrontation in Odisha, India on Sept. 27, 2021, Latin Times reported.
The wife, identified as Sulochana, allegedly lopped off her husband Amulya Jena's genitals as the two engaged in a physical fight and began inflicting grievous injuries on each other. The gruesome incident reportedly happened in Baghanata village under Chandbali Police limits in Bhadrak district of Odisha, India.
On the evening of Sept. 27, 2021, a heated argument reportedly erupted between the couple, Jena and Sulochana. The argument soon took an ugly turn and elevated into a melee.
