A 30-year-old man who pretended to be a eunuch for begging on trains was allegedly castrated by some of the local eunuchs after he refused to give them a part of his ‘earnings’.

Bunty Moghele, an unemployed single man residing at Somnath ki Chaal, said he decided to dress as a eunuch to beg on trains around six months ago.

"While begging, some eunuchs stopped me and demanded a share of the money. I agreed and started giving them money. However, I stopped two months ago, when they started demanding more than I was earning," Bunty said.

Anita Guru, the leader of a group of transgenders, sent for him on Friday.

"I went to the Indore railway station to meet Anita. The people offered me tea, after which I fell unconscious. When I woke up, and later found myself at a hospital with my private parts missing," said Bunty.

Shashi Kant Chaurasia, thana-in-charge of the Hira Nagar police station, said, "We will take his statement before launching an investigation."
