Thiruvananthapuram, May 20 (IBNS): Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan called the law student "courageous" who chopped off the genitals of a self-styled godman who allegedly tried to rape her in the last night, media reports said on Saturday.

The law student, who is now 23, was allegedly a victim of repeated sexual assaults by the self styled godman,  Swamy Gangeshananda, a member of the Kollam-based Panmana Ashram for the last eight years, according to a police complaint.

The Kerala CM in an interaction with the media, lauded the victim and said that she has done the right thing.

When the accused tried to force himself on the woman at her home on Friday night, she grabbed a sharp object and chopped off his penis.

She reportedly called the police herself but no case has been filed against the girl.

The accused was rushed to the Thiruvananthapuram Medical College where an emergency surgery was performed and the doctors stated that 90% of his penis has been damaged which could not be stitched, though he is out of danger.

The law student has complained that her mother was also sexually abused by the accused. Her father suffered a paralysis attack a few years ago.

However according to the police, the accused said that he himself mutilated his genitals while the mother of the victim is reported to be defending the self-styled godman.
