A man alleged that his wife cut off his private parts after a fight between them in north Delhi, police said on Saturday.
The man is admitted to Safdarjung Hospital, where his condition is said to be out of danger, police said.
According to a police officer, on the intervening nights of October 31 and November 1, information was received at the Roop Nagar police station regarding the incident.
The man’s statement was recorded on Saturday where he told the police that he is a native of Bihar and had shifted to Delhi with his wife a couple of months ago. He works as a helper in a Paying Guest accommodation in Shakti Nagar, police said.
On the night of the incident, he was drunk and had an argument with his wife, they said.

It’s the third marriage for both of them, he said.
