KANPUR: A piquant situation prevailed in Kanpur on Thursday night when a man caught his wife with a neighbour in an objectionable position and attempted to chew his genitals leaving his wife's lover profusely bleeding.
The injured paramour rushed to the police station for help and was thereafter admitted to the Lala Lajpat Rai Hospital. The police said they are yet to receive a formal complaint from either of the sides for action in the incident.
The couple, married a couple of years ago, live in a rented accommodation in Kanpur's Babupurwa.
On Thursday evening, the man left for his work informing his wife that he would be back on Friday, due to some outstation work.
However, he unexpectedly returned late on Thursday only to find his neighbour in bed with his wife. Seething with rage, he charged at him as the latter attempted to flee, grabbed his private parts with his teeth in the struggle and tried to chew them.
Inspector Arun Dwivedi of Babupurwa confirmed that the injured individual received treatment at Lala Lajpat Rai Hospital. "So far, no complaint has been filed by either party. Further action will be taken only after registration of an FIR following a complaint," he said.
The incident attracted significant local attention. The neighbourhood residents who witnessed the disturbance gathered near the premises but left after police intervention.
