FAISALABAD: A woman allegedly castrated her paramour late on Friday night.
A Kotwali police spokesman said Ali Akhtar*, 20, resident of Garh Maharaja, had been staying at a hotel room near Ayub Chowk in Jhang City with a girlfriend, Maryam.
Hotel manager Riaz Noal told newsmen that on Saturday the hotel staff heard shrieks from the room.
“When we entered the room, we found him lying in a pool of blood. The girl was nowhere to be found,” he said.
The manager called the Rescue 1122 and the police.
The injured man was taken to Jhang district headquarters (DHQ) hospital from where he was referred to Allied Hospital Faisalabad. He was discharged from the hospital on Sunday after a surgery.
He told newsmen he worked in Islamabad and had been dating a worker of the Health Department, Maryam. He said he was engaged to be married to his cousin and had told Maryam about this.
“She suggested we rent a hotel room to meet one last time. There, she attacked and castrated me,” he said.
Kotwali police have registered a case on the complaint of hotel manager Riaz Noal under section 334 of Pakistan Penal Code (PPC).
