Transgender held for attacking male lover escapes

A 27-year-old transgender, who was arrested last week for conspiring to eliminate his alleged lover of one year after the latter got married with a woman, escaped from police custody on Saturday. Kiran alias Anuja Narsingh Koli pushed the constable, jumped off the auto rickshaw while being taken to the lock up. Taking advantage of the bustling Shanipar Chowk he melted into the crowd.

Koli has also been booked for escaping from police custody. A case has been registered at the Vishrambaug Police station. On May 4, Koli's alleged lover Shridhar Khandave (24) was attacked by three unidentified men.
According to a complaint lodged by Khandave's wife Anamika, three men stormed into their house and attacked her husband with hockey sticks and wooden batons, leaving him seriously injured.

The men who attacked her husband threatened him of dire consequences if he didn't continue his alleged relationship with Koli. The trio said that they were sent by Koli. According to Anamika's statement, Koli was forcing Khandave to continue their relationship even after marriage. But when Khandave turned down his overtures, the jilted lover went to the extent of plotting his murder.

Shridhar's marriage to a girl disturbed Kiran. Enraged, he decided to hire men to eliminate his lover.
Khandave is critical, battling for life at Sassoon. Inspector A D Patil confirmed that Koli pushed Constable Memane aside and jumped off the auto at Shanipar Chowk while being taken to Faraskhana lockup.
Patil said an inquiry will be launched against Memane and then only action will be taken against him.
