UP: Sadhu cuts off private part over allegations of love affair
KANPUR: Upset over the allegations of 'love affair', a 45-year-old sadhu cut off his private part in Banda district of Uttar Pradesh on Friday. The shocking incident was reported from Kamasin town in the district. The injured Sadhu has been admitted to a trauma centre at district hospital in a serious condition.
Deputy Superintendent of Police (City) Raghvendra Singh told TOI that the sadhu, identified as Maidani Baba, has been living in an 'ashram' on a land which was lying vacant at the Dando road forest cover since past few years.
He further stated that Maidani Baba, who was on nine-day Navratri fasting, was very much disturbed over the allegations about his love-affair with a local woman.
"In his preliminary statement, Maidani Baba has held two persons responsible for his extreme step. He said both were trying to tarnish his image by linking his name with a village woman. We have lodged an FIR under relevant sections of IPC in this regard and are investigating the matter further. Arrests are likely to be made, once the charges levelled will be corroborated," said the DSP further.
The incident came to light after some villagers found the sadhu lying in a pool blood when they reached his `ashram' on Friday.
They immediately alerted the local police, who in turn reached the spot and rushed the injured sadhu to a nearby clinic from where he was later referred to the district hospital trauma centre.
Doctors at the hospital stated the condition of sadhu to be serious, the police said. "Doctors informed that nearly 80 per cent of the man's private part has been cut off from his body and a surgery has been performed," police said further.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
