In a shocking turn of events, 20-year-old Indian Muslim Mujahid’s life was drastically altered when he was deceived into undergoing gender reassignment surgery. The surgery, allegedly orchestrated by a man named Omprakash in collusion with doctors from a local medical college, has sparked outrage and protests in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh.
The incident occurred at Begrajpur Medical College in Mansoorpur. Mujahid, a resident of Sanjak village, claims that on June 3, Omprakash deceived him into believing he had a medical issue that required hospital inspection. Accompanied by Omprakash, Mujahid visited the facility, where hospital staff administered anesthesia and performed a sex-change operation, removing his genitals without his consent.
Mujahid recounts waking up to discover that he had been transformed from a boy to a girl. “He brought me here, and the next morning I had an operation. When I regained consciousness, I was told that I had been changed from a boy to a girl,” he said.
Omprakash allegedly threatened Mujahid, stating that he would now have to live with him, as neither his family nor his community would accept him. Omprakash also threatened to shoot Mujahid’s father and seize his share of the family land. “He said, ‘I changed you from a man to a woman and now you have to live with me. I have prepared a lawyer and arranged a court marriage for you. Now I will shoot your father, take your share of the land, sell it, and go to Lucknow’,” Mujahid recalled.
In response to the incident, workers from the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU), led by farmer leader Shyam Pal, protested at the medical college, demanding immediate action against Omprakash and the involved doctors. The police have assured the demonstrators of a thorough investigation.
Mujahid’s father filed a police complaint on June 16, leading to Omprakash’s arrest. However, Pal criticized the police for their lax attitude and called for stricter action, demanding at least IRS 2 crore in compensation for Mujahid.
