Attempt to murder case filed against six transgender individuals in Tumakuru over group dispute
Tumakuru: The Kora Police in Tumkuru has registered a case on Saturday accusing six transgender persons of attempting to murder a fellow community member, Anushri, after an alleged violent attack near Sorekunte gate on Friday night.
According to the complaint, Anushri was on her way home to her daughter when the accused, traveling in two autorickshaws, stopped her and assaulted her with a blade and beer bottles, as reported by The Hindu. Despite her injuries, Anushri managed to flee and seek refuge at a nearby mosque before being taken to the district hospital with the assistance of bystanders.
The police has named Asha as the prime accused, along with five others in the case. Anushri claimed the attack was linked to a dispute over a chit fund and gold. However, she stated the deeper cause was her decision to leave Asha’s ‘gharana’ or group to join another faction.
The complainant alleged that Asha’s group engaged in illegal activities, demanding members pay protection money and punishing any disobedience harshly. Anushri had threatened to report their illegal activities to the police prior to the attack, according to an NGO that supports her.
Members of the transgender community, demanding strict legal actions against the perpetrators gathered outside the Kora Police Station after the incident.

Dalai Lama says Grammy win reflects shared responsibility, not personal achievement
Dharamshala (PTI): Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama on Monday said his Grammy Award win was not a personal achievement but a recognition of a shared universal responsibility.
The Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, won his first Grammy in the category of best audio book, narration, and storytelling recording for his spoken-word album, Meditations: The Reflections of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, at the 68th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.
He edged out other nominees, including Kathy Garver for Elvis Rocky & Me: The Carol Connors Story, Trevor Noah for Into The Uncut Grass, Ketanji Brown Jackson for Lovely One: A Memoir and Fab Morvan for You Know It's True: The Real Story of Milli Vanilli.
Reacting to the prestigious international recognition, the Dalai Lama expressed gratitude and humility, saying he did not view the award as a personal achievement.
"I receive this recognition with gratitude and humility. I don't see it as something personal, but as a recognition of our shared universal responsibility," the Dalai Lama said.
"I firmly believe that peace, compassion, care for our environment, and an understanding of the oneness of humanity are essential for the collective well-being of all eight billion human beings. I am grateful that this Grammy recognition can help spread these messages more widely," he said.
