Five year old’s penis chopped off by farmer

Lucknow: In yet another shocker from Uttar Pradesh, the penis of a five-year-old boy was chopped off because he was found urinating in the field of a farmer. The incident took place in Korali village of Pratapgarh late on Tuesday night. Police reports claim that Ritesh, son of a brick kiln laborer Sheshram, had wandered into the field at night and was caught urinating. The farm-owner, Durgesh Maurya, not only thrashed the boy  but also chopped off his penis. The profusely bleeding boy somehow reached home and raised an alarm. He was immediately rushed to a hospital in Allahabad where he is undergoing treatment. The boy’ father has lodged a complaint against the owner of the farm, and his son has also been named as an accused. The police said the assailants were on the run.
