The incident occurred at Bacha Park intersection in the Kotwali police station area, where two eunuchs were asking for money from drivers who had stopped at the traffic light.
The altercation escalated when another group of eunuchs, who traditionally collected alms in that area, arrived and asked the first group to leave the spot. When they refused, tensions flared, leading to a violent confrontation.
Bystanders intervene to stop the fighting
The disagreement quickly turned physical as the local eunuchs called for reinforcements. Within moments, the situation spiralled out of control, and one eunuch was forcibly stripped and beaten by the opposing group. Local residents and bystanders tried to intervene, but their attempts to de-escalate the situation were met with hostility from the fighting groups.
Eventually, the police were alerted, and officers from the nearby Kotwali police station rushed to the scene. The police used batons to disperse the crowd and bring the situation under control.
Both groups of eunuchs taken into custody
Both groups of eunuchs were taken into custody and brought to the police station for questioning. According to police, both parties have filed complaints against each other, accusing the other of instigating the violence.
The police have assured that a thorough investigation will be conducted, and impartial action will be taken based on the findings.
