A woman partly chopped off her boyfriend's penis after he allegedly refused to have sex with her, police said on Friday.
The 23-year-old woman is absconding and her 34-year-old boyfriend has undergone a surgery and is recuperating, said a police officer privy to the investigation.
The incident happened in Mangolpuri area of west Delhi at around 3 a.m. on Thursday.
According to police, the duo was in a relationship for the past three-four years and on Wednesday night, the girl's sister-in-law called him over to their house.
When he returned, he refused to have sex with his girlfriend "and the accused got angry about this and partly chopped off his penis with a knife", the police officer told IANS.
The officer said that police got a call at around 5 a.m. on Thursday from the hospital authorities informing about the incident. "We're searching for the woman and we don't think she has left Delhi," the officer added.
