An Indian woman allegedly cut off the penis of a man who had been stalking her, before rushing him to the hospital to save his life, police said.
The 47-year-old married woman and two men lured her neighbor to an isolated spot near some railway tracks in Mumbai, tied him to a tree before hacking off his genitals, police said today.
The 27-year-old neighbor had sought sexual favors from the woman and told her husband he was in love with her, which led to a fight between the couple.
The woman, who is a mother-of-two, then allegedly sought help from two young men in the neighborhood.
