Madhya Pradesh’s Indore police on Thursday detained the leader of a transgender group, a day after 24 transpersons from a rival camp of the community allegedly consumed phenyl amid a factional dispute.

After the incident on Wednesday night in Indore’s Nandlalpura area, those who allegedly consumed phenyl were admitted to the government-run Maharaja Yashwantrao Hospital (MYH) here and they were reported out of danger, as per doctors.
