Kerala godman, Swami Gangesanantha Teerthapadar, who has been in the news after a 23-year-old woman chopped off his penis, can never have sex again.
As reported in Mid-day his doctors have said he can also never pee standing.
The doctors have sutured back the organ to its position but it has no blood supply.
As reported by Mid-day, Sera Khuraisha, spokesperson of the medical college said they haven’t seen any relatives of the swami coming to meet him yet. “We are likely to refer him for a psychiatric evaluation soon," Khuraisha said.
The police is waiting for the swami to be discharged from hospital to continue investigations into the serious charges of rape leveled against him.
“He is currently under medical care and we have not carried out any detailed questioning to know more about him or his past records yet,” G Sparjan Kumar, Thiruvananthapuram commissioner of police said.
The alleged rapist, Hari alias Ganeshananda Theerthapada Swami, was admitted to the Medical College Hospital in Thiruvananthapuram in a critical condition around 12:30 am on Saturday.
The incident is reported to have happened at 11:30 pm on Friday, according to police sources.
The woman’s parents were followers of the swami from an ashram at Padmana in Kollam, Kerala. They called the Thiruvananthapuram police control room on Friday night.
The girl informed the police that she had cut off the sexual organs of the 54-year-old swami after he allegedly tried to rape her.
The police told The News Minute that a case had been filed against the man under IPC Section 376 (rape) and under sections of POCSO. "A case had been filed under POCSO as the assault and rape seem to have started when she was a minor," said the cop.
India Today reports states the police did not registered a case against the girl as she had acted in self-defense.
