A day after the PhD scholar at JNU was arrested for repeatedly raping his 16-year-old sister-in-law and getting her pregnant, the accused allegedly tried to damage his private parts during police custody.
The incident came to light on Sunday evening when he was taken for a medical examination. A police official noticed blood stain marks on his pants. Further it was learnt that he tried to cause injuries on his private part as a gesture of his guilt.
He was immediately rushed to the nearby Safdarjung hospital where he is undergoing treatment. A police official at Vasant Vihar police station said, ‘There was no sharp object available in the lock-up where he was lodged. He might have tried to rub his private parts against the wall.’
‘Soon after his arrest, he was sitting quite in one corner of the lock-up. He had not eaten in the night and it seems like he was guilty of his act’, the official added.
