In a disturbing incident in Indore, police have registered a case against unidentified attackers who allegedly assaulted three transwomen, questioning their gender identity and forcibly cutting off their hair.
The attack was carried out by individuals from the third gender community who objected to the transwomen's attire. The young victims were aged between 19 and 22 and were shopping in the city's Rajbada area at the time. The police are actively pursuing the perpetrators under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
