"The 27-year-old victim told us that he was abducted near the railway station and taken to a square close to MR 10 road by two eunuchs on May 7," Hiranagar police station inspector Shashikant Chourasia told PTI.
According to the police, the victim said that after regaining his senses yesterday, he found himself bleeding profusely. He figured that his genitals had been chopped off, with a tube inserted into his body to enable him to urinate.
The acquaintances of the man said that he wanted to become a eunuch, police said.
Chourasia said that it cannot be concluded that real eunuchs abducted the man and chopped off his genitals since he had been depriving them of their livelihood.
Prime facie, it appeared like the man was castrated by a surgeon and so the police does not believe his statement that he was abducted as well as kept unconscious for five days, he said.
The official added that the case is being probed from different angles.
