In the midst of escalating tensions within Indore's transgender community, Kinnar Akhara chief Laxmi Narayan Tripathi has demanded police protection for members of the Nandlalpura Dera amid fears for their safety.

The troubling situation reached a critical point on October 15, when 24 members consumed phenyl in a suicide attempt, driven by alleged harassment from rival faction leader Sapna Haji. The timely intervention of medical personnel averted tragedy.

Sapna Haji's arrest has not fully resolved the issue, as three accomplices remain at large. Police are actively pursuing the suspects, with rewards announced for information leading to their capture.
