Police in India are investigating an incident in which a shocked man woke up in hospital to discover he had been ‘tricked’ into having gender reassignment surgery as part of a bizarre land grab attempt.
The 20-year-old man from Sanjak village in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, known only as Mujahid, accused another man, Omprakash, of misleading him into believing he had an urgent medical problem that needed to be resolved.
After going to Muzaffarnagar Medical College, he was put under the knife by a team of trained doctors on June 3.
After the operation, Mujahid woke up to find that surgeons had removed his genitals. NDTV reported.
“When I regained consciousness, I was told that I had changed from a boy to a girl,” Mujahid said.
The affected man claimed the incident was the culmination of a two-year campaign of threats and intimidation by Omprakash, but the extent of their relationship is still unknown.

Omprakash then allegedly told Mujahid that he would now have to live with him because he would be rejected by friends and family.
He also allegedly threatened to shoot Mujahid’s father and confiscate his share of the family land.
‘He said, ‘I have changed you from a man to a woman and now you must live with me. I have prepared a lawyer and prepared a court marriage for you. Now I will shoot your father and the land of your share will be named after me and then I will sell it and go to Lucknow,” Mujahid recalled.
But instead of being ostracized by his local community, workers from a local farmers’ union staged a protest at the medical college, calling for immediate legal and criminal action against Omprakash and the doctors involved.
Local police have now arrested Omprakash and are investigating the doctors involved.
Mujahid’s family is also filing a lawsuit, claiming that his life has been seriously affected by the horrific incident.
“All allegations made by the family and the protesters will be thoroughly investigated and appropriate legal action will be taken against those found guilty,” said Ramashish Yadav, senior police officer of Muzaffarnagar.
