There was a stir in the Nandlalpura area of Indore’s Pandharpur police station area when approximately 22 transgender people attempted suicide by drinking phenyl in a closed room. They even recorded and released a video of the incident. Upon receiving information about the incident, police officers arrived at the scene, opened the door, and rushed all the transgender people to MY Hospital for immediate treatment.
What is the whole matter?
Actually, following a dispute between transgender people, one group took the step of collectively drinking phenyl. There has been a long-standing dispute between two transgender groups in Nandlalpura. One group is led by Sapna Guru, and the other by Seema and Payal Guru. Disputes between the two groups often occur. On Tuesday, Mahamandaleshwar Lakshmi Tripathi of the Kinnar Akhara also visited Indore and met with officials regarding the dispute. An SIT has already been formed to investigate this dispute, which has been ongoing for several days, but the investigation has not been completed.
