Payback

Be careful who you attack. Some people refuse to be victims and do not think twice about taking the law into their own hands in acts of retaliation. More often than not, this ends with serious consequences.

Woman Cuts Off Stalker’s Penis

Tushar Pujare from Dombibli, Maharashtra, India, could not take no for an answer. In early 2018, Pujare sexually harassed an unnamed married woman for months. The 47-year-old woman constantly rejected his advances, told Pujare that she was married, and warned him to stop harassing her.

In December 2018, the 27-year-old man followed the woman’s husband home and confessed to him that he loved his wife and wanted her to become his wife. The men argued, but Pujare eventually left.

The woman’s husband confronted his wife when he returned home. The pair argued as she revealed how Pujare had harassed her and asked for sexual favors.

Angry about the argument with her husband, the woman decided to avenge payback on Pujare. She contacted two acquaintances, Pravin Kenia, and Tejas Mahatre, and asked for their help.

On December 25, 2018, the woman contacted Pujure, asking him to meet her in an isolated industrial zone in Dombivil. Kenia and Mahatre physically attacked Pujare when he arrived. The woman then told the two men to hold Pujare down, but instead, they tied him to a tree. The woman retrieved a large knife from her pocket and proceeded to chop off his penis.

She soon realized the man could die from his injuries and rushed him to a hospital where she confessed what she had done to the hospital staff. The man died three days after the attack.

The woman was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder on December 27, two days after the attack. The two men were arrested after the woman told them about their involvement. The individuals' charges were upgraded to murder after Pujare died.
