How far can one go for a loved one? Leaving an opposing family, moving cross country, or even changing faith or religion, are some of the situations that have become far too common for people to do, as far as they get to live happily with their loved ones. And a life after all these struggles usually leads to a much sweeter result that those very people in love, craved all along. However, doing something similar for his partner, went southways for a man hailing from Madhya Pradesh’s Indore.
In a unique love story, the said 28-year-old Indore man underwent gender transition, with the aim to marry his boyfriend hailing from Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur, as per news agency ANI. However, the story instead ended up making horrifying headlines after the same boyfriend refused to marry the poor 28-year-old, post the big surgery. According to ANI, the said partner, identified as Vaibhav Shukla, promised the victim to tie the holy knot if he went for a sex' change operation.
Rushing into action after the rejection, the 28-year-old reportedly lodged a complaint against Shukla at the police station. “I underwent gender reassignment surgery as per Shukla's request, believing in his commitment to marry me. However, he not only reneged on his promise but also subjected me to unnatural acts,” the man was quoted as saying to ANI. “I spent a significant amount on the surgery, and now I'm left in despair. I urge the authorities to take strict action against Shukla,” he was further quoted as saying.
The two reportedly met through the social media platform, Instagram, in 2021. Meanwhile, the police have registered a case against Shukla, under IPC Section 377 (unnatural sex), and 506 (criminal intimidation), as per reports.
