Kendrapara: A 32-year-old man allegedly chopped off his friend’s genitals after a drunken brawl at a beach in Kendrapara district on Sunday, police said.
Bhagabat Das, 30, and his friend Akshya Rout were drinking at the Pentha beach in the Rajnagar police station area when a fight broke out between them. As the situation escalated, Rout allegedly chopped off Das’s genitals with a sharp-edged weapon, police said.
