Kochi: Sajana, the transgender who was forced by a gang to shut down her Biryani stall in Kochi, has been hospitalised following drug overdose.
Police suspect Sajana tried to end her life after some people came up with a video countering her harassment claim and dubbing it as hoax to make some quick money.
Two weeks back, Sajana had come Live on Facebook recounting how a gang of men in Kochi threatened her and friends from running their Biryani stall in the locality. Her tearful narration saying she was prevented from being able to work and live, had moved many, some of who offered money in aid. Minister KK Shailaja too took notice of Sajana's visual plea and responded with protection, financial assistance and assured justice.
However, a couple of people came up with a video lately stating her woes were pretense and that the saga was framed to evoke sympathy and in turn fetch money for her gang.
Police have initiated a probe in what they believe is an extreme step Sajana attempted when faced with online lambast.
