“When he got to the sentry point, he was asked whom he was looking for and his mission in the barracks but while he was talking with the sentry officer, the man felt “an electric jolt around his genitals and behold, when he touched the area, his private had gone”, a naval personnel told vanguard
Following the alarm raised by the naval officer, the young man was accosted and beaten up with instructions to return the missing genital immediately.
