Chitradurga , Two transgenders were booked for allegedly forcing a 22-year-old man to undergo gender reassignment surgery without his consent after abducting, confining and assaulting him, police said on Saturday.
The incident allegedly occurred on September 1, but the person’s family knew about it later; his father filed a complaint with the police on October 9, police said.
Following the complaint, a case was registered at Parashurampura police station under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including those relating to unlawful assembly, assault, wrongful confinement, abduction, criminal conspiracy, trafficking of a person, among other sections, the police said. “Based on the complaint, we have registered the case, and efforts are being made to trace and arrest the two transgenders in connection with the incident,” the officer added.
The man later called his family, saying he was unable to walk and was experiencing bleeding and weakness.
His parents took him to a private hospital in Jajur for treatment, a senior police officer said.
