The unidentified mother recalled seeing the horrifying act and confronted the man inside the home they shared. She said, "I was working on the farm when the incident took place. Fortunately, I returned home in the nick of time and caught him red-handed.

The woman's 32-year-old boyfriend has been booked on a rape charge under the Indian Penal Code and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses Act, which was passed in 2012 and attempts to protect a child who becomes the victim of a crime, such as sexual assault, sexual harassment, or the production of child pornography. Repeated calls from a group of neighbors led to the police responding to the suspected domestic violence, and when they arrived, they found a man covered in blood with his genitals severed.
SHO Lakhimpur police station Chandrashekhar Singh said, "The 32-year-old accused has been booked under section 376 (rape) of IPC and the Pocso act."
