Bombay Eunuch’s kidnaping Boys Truning Hejads ?
MUMBAI: A eunuch abandoned her plan of bringing a kidnapped college student to Mumbai from Tamil Nadu when she realized the police were searching for her. On July 13, Aarti Subramani kidnapped a farmer's son Sunder Salem to turn him into a eunuch.
But on July 21, when Aarti learned that police in Mumbai received a call from TN cops about the accused she abandoned her plot and returned Sunder to his parents. Eunuchs in the Antop Hill area identified the accused from her picture provided by the TN police. The police are still hunting for Aarti. Aarti and Sunder's families are neighbours in Tamil Nadu.
The boy kidnapped on July 13 returned to her parents on Friday. Police are searching for her. Police found from the eunuch community in Mumbai that the accused Aarti Subramani kidnapped a farmer's son Sunder Salem to make him a eunuch. Sunder's family and Aarti family are neighbouts in Tamil Nadu.
On July 21, police here received call from their Tamil Nadu counterparts seeking help to search for Aarti at Sion-Koliwada in Antop Hill. Senior inspector of Antop Hill police station Samaher Pathan said, "Aarti was getting details of the investigation and this forced her to abandon the plan," he said.
The TN and Antop Hill police team searched the entire locality based on her mobile network tower location in Sion-Koliwada. "The eunuch community identified the accused from her picture provided by the TN police. Later her number was not reachable. On Friday we got information that the boy returned home safe," he said.
The police had almost lost hope after searching for three days in the locality and contacted social worker Rajan Naidu who helped them to track the whereabouts of the accused. "The accused had stayed in Sion-Koliwada and later she left for Tamil Nadu. The TN police came to Mumbai in search of the accused after they found a business card at her home. The card belonged to his friend who stays in Sion-Koliwada," Naidu told TOI.
Quoting TN police inspector Raj Shekar, Naidu said the police picked the accused 's parents for questioning. "On Friday the accused called the TN police and said she would return the boy but asked to harass her parents. Police tracked down the number to Delhi. Later it was learnt all the three mobile numbers from which the accused was making the calls were procured using fake documents."
The group is called Amma and is headed by Jatin Harne, a Ghatkopar-based eunuch who is fondly called Maharaj or Amma. It has over 15,000 members. Some representatives of the group met in Fort on Friday to discuss the PIL. They have also secured the help of an advocate to help them draft and file the petition.
"None of our morchas, dharnas or hunger strikes worked. The judiciary is above the government; so we decided to go to court," said Harne.
According to members of the group, they will list 15 specific demands in the PIL. These will include a demand for separate local train coaches and railway station toilets for eunuchs; and ration cards that have a separate category other than male and female. They want yellow ration cards to denote that they fall in the Below Poverty Line.
They also want eunuchs to be given the status of 'handicapped', and hope that they will be allowed to enjoy all special privileges that come with the status.
The group wants the Municipal Legislative Council in Mumbai to have a seat reserved for a member from the eunuch community.
Highlighting the troubles of hijras in boarding local trains, members of the group said male commuters tease and harass them in general compartments, while policemen don't allow them to board the ladies' compartments.
According to the group, over 10 lakh hijras reside in Maharashtra, with between five to six lakh living in Mumbai and Thane alone. The group is also demanding housing for the community in MHADA colonies, basing their demands on the fact that the Tamil Nadu government has developed housing colonies for the hijra community.
"If the Tamil Nadu government can sanction crores of rupees for the community, why can't the Maharashtra government?" asked a member of the group.
To get more countenance for their demands, the group also wants to pull in the support of other members of the LGBT community. "We sympathise with the gay community and count them as one of us," said Harne.
