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.
