Eunuchs thrash man posing as one to pocket 'nazrana' in Jabalpur; videos go viral on social media

Satna, Jul 3 (PTI) A group of eunuchs in Satna in Madhya Pradesh on Thursday assaulted a man posing as a member of the community to take cash, also called 'nazrana', from people.

The incident, during which the man was stripped and tonsured, took place amid a crowd of onlookers near Sukheja House in Krishnanagar area.

As per eyewitnesses, a group of eight persons posing as eunuchs arrived in an autorickshaw and began approaching houses in the area while playing drums etc seeking 'nazrana'.

However, at the time, a group of real eunuchs arrived there, prompting seven out of the eight from the earlier group to flee.

The ordeal of the man left behind was captured in videos shot by onlookers, many of which went viral on social media.

Incidentally, such fights between eunuchs and those posing as members of the community to pocket cash had become so common that 15 years ago police had asked Jabalpur Municipal Corporation to issue identity cards to genuine eunuchs.

However, there was no progress on this front, officials said. PTI LAL BNM
