An Indian man who was caught trying to rape a teenage girl is in a critical condition in hospital after locals chopped off his genitals with a meat cleaver.
Suresh Kumar was set upon in Ganganagar, in India's northwestern Rajasthan state, after locals heard the girl's screams for help.
After finding the 40-year-old pinning the girl against a wall, a lynch mob dragged him to a butchers shop where they beat him with sticks for an hour before castrating him.
Source: They then dumped the severed remains in the middle of a road and lefta bloodied Kumar nearby.
Aamir Dhawan, 30, said no one 'went to help' Kumar because they knew he had been punished for a 'sex crime
'This sends out a very strong message to anyone like that - if you do it you will be punished.'
But the police have called for those responsible to come forward, saying people can't take the law into their 'own hands'.
The spokesman said: 'As deplorable as these crimes are, law and order has to be maintained, and not lynch justice.
'We ask those men who carried out this attack to hand themselves in before we find them.'
Kumar was eventually taken to hospital where doctors described his condition as critical.
The girl involved was treated for shock, and given counselling.
The castration follows a string of violent sex crimes in India that have prompted vigilante justice.
