Police officers of Tamil nadu’s South Zone initiated swift action against the youths who harassed transgenders by making them kneel down and received appreciation from the public. The horrendous video shows the youths cutting the hair of one of the transgenders saying that they are spoiling the youths. The incident reportedly took place in Thirunelveli district of Tamil nadu state.

The viral video shows a couple of transgenders with face full of injuries. “These people are looting money from youngsters” says a miscreant wThile chopping the hair of one of the transgenders and yells “beautiful” in a way of mocking them.

The matter came to light after transgender activist Grace Banu shared the video in her Twitter timeline seeking justice. “Couple of trans women attacked by this goons” she said sharing the video and tagged the Police officials of Madurai, Thirunelveli and Sivaganga and asked them to break their silence.

“When this kind of violence going to end .When Cis people face this same kind of violence I am surely says you people not keeping this kind of silence .my community persons facing this kind of violence everyday” She further said.

Here’s her post :

மனிதாபிமானம் அற்றவர்கள்…

வேதனை அளிக்கிறது…

மனிதனை‌ விட மிருகங்கள் பரவாயில்லை போல…

மனிதாபிமானமற்ற, கண்ணியமற்ற செயல். தவறு செய்தவர்கள் சட்டத்தின் முன் நிறுத்தப்பட்டு, கடுமையான தண்டனைக்கு உட்படுத்த வேண்டும்.
