Thiruvananthapuram: A 23-year-old woman cut off the genitals of a man when he allegedly tried to rape her at her home in Pettah in the city late last night.
The 54-year-old man, an inmate of an ashram in Kollam, was rushed to the government medical college hospital here with critical injuries in the wee hours, police said today.
He underwent an emergency surgery and his condition is stable now, a hospital release said.
The woman in her complaint stated that the accused has been known to her family for the past few years and has been harassing her since she was a minor, police said.
He frequented her home for performing poojas and used to assault her during the visits, the complaint said.
