According to several Indian media agencies, at least 24 transgender individuals were admitted to the hospital in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh’s city of Indore after ingesting disinfectant in a “mass suicide” attempt connected to a conflict with a rival organization.

NDTV reported that the incident occurred on Wednesday night, and they were hospitalised soon after.

“They have claimed to have consumed phenyl together, but this cannot be immediately confirmed,” the report quoted Maharaja Yashwantrao Hospital Superintendent-in-Charge Dr Basant Kumar Ningwal as saying, adding that none of them were in a critical condition.

“What triggered the mass act by the transgender persons was not immediately clear,” the report said. Meanwhile, The Hindu reported that the incident occurred “following an altercation with … a rival group leader and her associates.”
