A case of life mirroring Fictionmania…. this is from the news this week.

(India) The police today unearthed a racket in sex change allegedly involving some eunuchs targeting teenage boys. (Deccan Herald)

The boys are abducted, castrated and eventually forced into beggary and prostitution.

The racket came to light with the arrest of Basavaraj alias Mangala alias Rangiah (26) and Vaadhu alias Baby Jagaraj (20), who had forcibly ‘converted’ ninth standard student, Chandrashekar into Kumari Shilpa. The duo were arrested by the Sampigehalli police, while the search is on for three more persons.

Chandrashekhar had left his home in March and never returned. His perturbed father, after losing his only son, had lodged a missing complaint.

According to Bangalore North-East DCP, a few eunuchs lured Chandrasekhar, a student of government high school, T-Dasarahalli. On the pretext of taking blood samples, they injected some hormones and subsequently, the boy started behaving differently and portrayed female characters. When the parents started questioning, he decided to leave home.

The boy confessed that he had gone to Kadapa, Andhra Pradesh, and underwent a couple of surgeries and got his sex changed before being rechristened as Kumari Shilpa. Then, he was pushed into the business of prostitution and begging. Out of the money earned, the racket kingpin used to give him Rs 200. A portion was collected by Rajanna, a financier who funded the surgery.

Meanwhile, plans were on to go in for a breast transplant in Bangalore. He had made arrangements for Rs 50,000 towards it.

Kumari Shilpa’s father, Venkatappa, ran into his son near Hebbal flyover. Immediately, he stopped the vehicle and tried speaking to him but when he tried to escape with the help of an auto driver, Venkatappa caught Shilpa and took him to the nearest police station.

The officer agreed that there was a big gang behind it. Now, arrest warrants have been issued against the doctor and the financier.
