A bizarre incident of circumcision of a minor boy in Assam’s Barak valley was reported recently, which has been denied by the Silchar Medical College & Hospital. The allegation was leveled
that the minor from Hailakandi locality was forced to undergo circumcision.
However the registrar of surgery in the Silchar hospital stated that no external wounds was present in the penis of the boy. Presently he is undergoing treatment at the hospital. A section of the Barak valley based media outlets reported that the boy was forced for the exercise on 7 May last.
As the matter came to light, the police swung into action and registered a case, following which it was found that there was no evidence of circumcision. The investigation however continues to
understand the situation why and how the news was generated.
