Banda, January 9: A shocking incident has come to light from Uttar Pradesh's Banda in which a transgender gang is accused of forced gender change. There are reports that around 10-12 youngsters have fallen prey to the gang. The gang has reportedly forced more than ten young men to undergo gender transformation through intimidation and greed. A video of the transgenders brutally beating these victims with their hands tied and naked have surfaced on social media.
Victims Share Painful Experiences
Some victims, who were forcibly made transgender, have approached the police to share their experiences. They have also raised concerns about the failure of the authorities to protect them. Social organisations have joined the cause, protesting against the police's alleged inaction and demanding strict action against the gang.
How the Gang Operates
This issue came to light after a shocking video went viral. The video showed a young man, identified as Baccha, being stripped, shaved and beaten. Baccha is from the Bisanda area, but the incident was later confirmed to have taken place in the Atarra area in Banda.
Warning: Disturbing Video. Viewer's Discretion Advised
According to the victims, the gang is led by a transgender named Katrina, also known as Dheeru, who operates in Atarra. The gang targets innocent college students by luring them with promises of a better future and gain their trust. Later, the victims are taken to Kanpur, where the gang forces them into gender transformation.
Illegal Surgeries and Abuse
In Kanpur, the gang uses an illegal clinic at Swati Hospital, where an agent named Piyush Dwivedi arranges for sex-change surgeries. The victims claim that more than a dozen young men have been forcibly operated on at this clinic.
These surgeries reportedly include sex reassignment procedures, overdoses of hormone-altering medications and the use of addictive injections. The gang ensures the victims are fully transformed into transgender individuals, leaving them helpless.
Police Accused Of Inaction
Victims have alleged that the Atarra Police Station is supporting the gang. They claim that any voices raised against the gang are silenced at the police station level, making it difficult for justice to be served.
The viral video and the victims' revelations have led to widespread outrage. Social activists and organisations are demanding strict action against the transgender gang and justice for the victims. The district administration is under pressure to address the issue and ensure the safety of vulnerable young men in the region.
This shocking case highlights the need for swift legal action and stricter enforcement of law and order to protect citizens from such criminal activities.
