Increasing cases of hijras extorting residents during ceremonies in Hyderabad


Hyderabad: In a growing trend that has alarmed residents of Hyderabad, groups of Hijras (transgenders) have been busy extorting considerable sums of money from people during family gatherings, especially weddings and housewarming ceremonies. These incidents are not isolated, multiple reports have surfaced on social media platforms like Reddit and ‘X’ (formerly Twitter), where users have described their hair-raising experiences.

In a recent incident posted on Reddit, a resident who was hosting a housewarming ceremony in a gated community was visited by a group of hijras early in the morning. The uninvited guests demanded a large sum of money and threatened to strip naked and create a scene if their demands were not met. Despite the resident’s attempts to seek help from the police, the situation escalated, forcing the family to negotiate and eventually pay Rs 40,000 to avoid looking foolish in front of their guests.

Similar incidents have been reported across the city. A resident of Kondapur shared a story of how a group of 20-30 hijras arrived at his house at midnight demanding money. Fearing a public spectacle, he complied with their demands and paid Rs 30,000. Other residents reported being harassed and even physically attacked by these groups, especially in areas near the Outer Ring Road.

These extortion attempts are reportedly well-organized, with allegations that local motorists and tent owners tip off Hijra groups about upcoming events. As a result, many families are forced to pay exorbitant amounts to avoid public humiliation and disruption during their special occasions.

The increasing frequency of these incidents has led to growing concern among the residents of Hyderabad, who are calling for stronger police intervention and regular awareness sessions for Hijras to curb such activities.
