  "account": "On Saturday afternoon, a protest by transgender individuals outside the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) office in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, became chaotic as protesters allegedly blocked roads, confronted civilians, and clashed with law enforcement. The dispute centered around an ongoing disagreement between two factions of transgender individuals about designated areas for collecting badhai, customary payments made during celebrations. Protesters, including Kinnar Anshika, also known as Abhishek, and her mother Mamta, arrived at the SSP office, alleging police negligence and claiming that members of the rival group had threatened their lives. This led to a confrontation that disrupted traffic and resulted in the intervention of Nawabad police station personnel. Video footage, circulating on social media, shows protesters climbing cars, kicking officials, and engaging in confrontations during the police attempt to manage the situation. The video features several individuals in partially clothed states moving through the area amidst the commotion. Following the unrest, Jhansi police registered a First Information Report (FIR) against four transgender individuals and a woman, taking them into custody.
