Bangalore police have ben accused of arresting and mistreating more than 40 people at a peaceful demonstration.
The conflict reportedly flared when five hijras (working-class, male-to-female, transgender people) were arrested by police on October 20th in what the local Daily News and Analysis called a “drive against the city’s eunuch menace.”
According to Human Rights Watch, police took them to Girinagar police station, verbally abused them, and beat one severely.
