Boy’s castration: team formed to catch culprits

September 26, 2016 12:00 am | Updated November 01, 2016 09:01 pm IST - Bengaluru:

A special team has been formed by the Bengaluru police to track down a group of transgenders that allegedly abducted a 18-year-old boy and castrated him recently.

The team was set up after reports of the crude method involved in removing the genitals, some five months ago. The boy was rescued from Chikkaballapur where he was working in a public washroom by the Pulikeshi Nagar police based on a missing complaint. The police said the boy did not reveal the genital mutilation when he was rescued, but later got admitted to the hospital following health complication.

Doctors who treated him informed the police about the genital mutilation, since it was a medico-legal case.
