Woman cuts off rapist's penis
Monju Begum told police that her neighbour Mozammel Haq Mazi forced his way into her shanty and started assaulting her
A 40-year-old Bangladeshi woman cut the penis of man who tried to rape her inside her house.
The incident took place in Mirzapur village, Jhalakathi, about 200km south of the capital, Dhaka Saturday night.
According to the BBC, Monju Begum, 40, a married mother of three, told police that her neighbour Mozammel Haq Mazi forced his way into her shanty and started assaulting her.
Mazi, who denies the accusation, has been admitted to a nearby hospital.
"We will arrest him once his condition gets better," police spokesman Abul Khaer was quoted as saying by BBC.
"She said she fought back and cut off his penis and brought it to our police station in a polythene bag to prove that Mazi tried to rape her," he said.
"She has registered a case accusing him of attempted rape," he said.
"It is quite an unusual incident. As far as I am aware, this is the first time that a woman has brought a severed penis to the police station as evidence."
Monju Begum told police that Mazi, a married father of five, had been harassing her for the past six months.
However, Mazi denied the allegations.
"We were having an affair and recently she suggested that both of us can go and settle down in Dhaka," Mazi told the BBC from the hospital in nearby Barisal.
"I refused and told her that I cannot leave my wife and children, so she took revenge on me," he said.
Prof AMSM Sharfuzzaman, a senior surgeon, said it had not been possible to reattach the severed penis which was brought to the Sher-e-Bangla Medical College and Hospital several hours after the incident.

FIRST DAY 31 MAY 2011
A gutsy woman from Bangladesh has chopped off a man's penis as he attempted to rape her.
Monju Begum, from the remote area Mirzapur, which is around 100 miles (161km) from Dhaka, was apparently sleeping when the man burst into her shack and launched his sex attacks.
Police chief Abul Khaer told AFP: "As he tried to rape her, the lady cut his manhood off with a knife."
"She then wrapped up the penis in a piece of polythene and brought it to the Jhalakathi police station as evidence of the crime.'
Her sex attacker, Mozammel Haq Mazi - a married father-of-five, is expected to be arrested once he has recovered.
Officer Khaer added: "We shall arrest him once his condition gets better."
But Mazi is denying attempted rape.
Speaking from hospital, he told BBC News that he had been having an affair with Monju, who was his neighbour.
"We were having an affair and recently she suggested that both of us can go and settle down in Dhaka," he claimed.
"I refused and told her that I cannot leave my wife and children, so she took revenge on me."
Surgeons later tried to re-attach the penis but they were unable to do so because several hours had passed before it was taken to the hospital
