Ghaziabad, Nov 22 (IANS) A man who often danced with a group of eunuchs, was allegedly castrated by some members of the group, due to a rift between them, police said Sunday.

Though the incident took place late Wednesday, it came to light only late Saturday when the man, Javed of Kaila Bhatta in Ghaziabad, met the senior superintendent of police and lodged a complaint.

‘I joined a group of eunuchs as a dancer. But when I realized that I was not getting my due share, I left their group. They called me Wednesday night to Nandgram locality in Ghaziabad under the pretext of negotiating fresh terms and made me unconscious by administering some intoxication in my tea. Next morning I found I had been castrated,’ Javed told IANS.

‘I am a married man and have two wives and three children. But these greedy eunuchs have played havoc into my life and castrated me,’ Javed added.

Jagvir Singh, station house officer (SHO) of the Sihani Gate police station, said: ‘It was a rift over sharing of money. Javed wanted to be the head of the group. A case has been registered against Pinky, Vinod and some other members of the group.’

‘The medical examination of the victim has confirmed that he was castrated. The accused have gone underground. We are trying to arrest them,’ Singh said.
