Bengaluru: Dentist gets 10-year rigorous imprisonment for bobbitising ex-lover

Bengaluru, Dec 16: A city civil and session court convicted a dentist for cutting off her ex-lover’s penis at her clinic in Koramangala a decade ago. The court sentenced her to 10 years’ rigorous imprisonment, Rs 15,000 fine and asked her to pay Rs 2 lakh as compensation to the victim.

Dr Sayeeda Ameena Nahim, 42, is a resident of Gurappana Palya and runs a clinic in Koramangala 8th Block. Mir Arshad Ali, a physician in Mysuru, was bobbitised on November 29, 2008, after Sayeeda learnt about his marriage to another woman.

Judge Vidyadhar Shirahatti of the 60th City Civil & Session said in the judgement on December 11 that “The victim has lost his marital life and has suffered mental agony. No amount will be sufficient for compensating this. However, some amount has to be fixed, apart from the fine to be imposed. An amount of Rs 2 lakh can be imposed towards compensation.”

“Mir Arshad Ali is at liberty to seek compensation under the Victim Compensation Scheme of the State,” Vidyadhar added.

According to the prosecution, Sayeeda and Ali were in a relationship in Mysuru. Ali had broken off the relationship with her and married another woman.

An enraged Sayeeda asked Ali to meet her in her clinic on November 29, 2008. “She offered fruit juice, a drug which rendered Ali unconscious, and cut his penis using tools at her clinic. She later helped Ali reach a nearby hospital for treatment and fled,” the prosecution argued.

The advocate said she never returned Ali’s amputated organ despite the victim and his wife requesting for it as doctors assured them there was a chance of fixing it back.

Koramangala police registered a case under IPC Sections 307 (attempt murder) and 326 (Voluntarily causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapons or means) against Sayeeda and arrested her within a few days.

Sayeeda’s lawyer argued she was innocent and never harmed Ali. Sayeeda said Ali was injured in an accident on his way to Sayeeda’s clinic from a railway station. But prosecution proved the claim was false as there were no other injuries on his body. The court eventually found her guilty and convicted her.

Mangaluru, July 14: In order to detect COVID-19 cases quickly in Dakshina Kannada, the government has commissioned a programme to administer rapid antigen tests.

The coastal district has already received 3,500 rapid antigen test kits, which can give results in 30 minutes, an official said, adding that tests will be conducted shortly and training is being imparted on the use of the kits.

The antigen tests will be conducted for emergency cases like delivery, surgery, persons with severe symptoms of Covid-19, multiple-organ failure and for those whose condition is critical. 

"If a symptomatic patient tests negative for Covid-19, then his throat swab sample would be sent for lab testing," the district health officer (DHO) said.

The rapid antigen tests is expected to help in increasing the number of tests and bring down the load of testing on labs, as antigen kits allow faster diagnosis.

It takes a minimum of eight hours to get the results via real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test. Antigen tests can provide results within half an hour.
