MUMBAI, Jun 20: He went to sleep as a man, but when he woke up, everything had changed. Mujahid, a 20-year-old resident of Sanjak village, found himself at the center of a shocking ordeal involving a deceitful gender reassignment surgery. According to Mujahid, the incident was orchestrated by Omprakash, who colluded with doctors from a local medical college in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh.
The distressing events unfolded at Begrajpur Medical College in Mansoorpur. Mujahid alleged that on June 3rd, Omprakash misled him into believing he needed medical attention. Accompanied by Omprakash, Mujahid was taken to the hospital where, under false pretenses, he was anesthetized and subjected to a surgery that irreversibly altered his gender.
"I was brought here by him, and the next thing I remember is waking up to being told I am no longer a man," Mujahid recounted.
Omprakash, who had reportedly threatened and harassed Mujahid for two years prior to the incident, allegedly informed him that he must now live with him as a woman. He also threatened Mujahid's family, coercing him into compliance by claiming that no one would accept him in his original community anymore.
In response to this egregious violation, the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) led protests at the medical college, demanding justice for Mujahid. Farmer leader Shyam Pal, speaking on behalf of the protestors, condemned the hospital's involvement and called for swift action against Omprakash and the complicit doctors.
"This incident sheds light on a broader issue of illicit practices within the hospital, including organ trafficking," Shyam Pal stated. He urged authorities to dismantle such criminal operations and ensure those responsible face severe consequences.
Following a police complaint filed by Mujahid's father on June 16th, Omprakash was arrested, though BKU representatives criticized the initial police response as inadequate. They demanded stringent measures against all parties involved and substantial compensation for Mujahid, whose life has been drastically altered by this traumatic event.
"We demand a thorough investigation and justice for Mujahid," Pal emphasized.
Authorities assured the public that a comprehensive investigation is underway, focusing not only on Omprakash but also on the hospital staff implicated in the crime.
