Thiruvananthapuram sources have stated that in a startling turn of events, the 23 year old law student who allegedly chopped off the genitals of a swami last month has now retracted on the reason behind it. In a letter addressed to the swami's lawyer, the woman has said that she was never raped by the swami, a member of the Panmana Ashram in Kerala's Kollam.
According to police source, when the incident
had happened, the woman had said that she chopped off the genitals of the
godman in anger after he had raped her several times in the past, even when she
was a minor and tried the same again on the day the incident happened.
But in the letter by her, which has been submitted in court by the
defense lawyer, she wrote, "There has been no form of sexual harassment by
the swamiji towards her. Neither when she was a minor nor when she turned 18.
The accusation of swamiji sexually harassing her at 16 and 17 years is false
and an addition made among the other additions by police people."
Meanwhile the case is scheduled for the next
hearing in a local court in Thiruvananthapuram on Monday, the woman's advocate
said that they are going to demand for investigation by a separate or
independent agency and not the Kerala police.
