The incident took place last night at Baspani village near here.
Mangal (45), found the victim, Patiram, in a comprising position with his wife. A furious Mangal got hold of an axe and attacked Patiram, cutting off his genitals, Rahatgaon Police Station Inspector S Raghuvanshi said.
Patiram died on the spot. Patiram and Mangal were neighbours and the former sneaked into the latter's house when he was out, the police officer said.
A murder case has been registered and police have launched a hunt for Mangal, the Inspector added.
