A 20-year-old man woke up in a hospital in Muzaffarnagar district of Uttar Pradesh to find out that his genitals had been removed and his sex change operation done. His life turned upside down, he started crying when his “friend” told him that he was now a woman and they both will have to get married.

The victim, a resident of Sanjak village, was allegedly tricked into a hospital visit by his friend who allegedly colluded with doctors of the Begrajpur Medical College to carry out the sex reassignment surgery. The friend later threatened the victim that he will now have to live with him as no one from his family or community will accept him, or he would shoot his father and seize his share of the family land.

      It’s in a number of Indian news reports including India Today and The Hindustan Times.

      All may not be as it seems (they could have had the sex change operation and the family forced them to say they were tricked into it, for example) but that’s only going to emerge after the police investigation and possibly a trial.

    The insane land-grab ending makes it sound like a Scooby Doo plot as told by the Crypt Keeper.

    OK I do not know a great deal about India.

    But this is the first time I have heard their hospitals and medical staff are currupt. Or incompetent,

    Because lets face it. For a guy to arrive and be placed through non emergency surgery with nonone haveing spoken to the patient about what he was going in for. Nope no hospital would consider that without some way to confirm the id of the patient.

    So the whole idea of this story seems to lack any credibility.
