Hasini was murdered by assailants who followed her home after performing a ritual at a temple.

She was a community leader and her murder sparked outrage and demonstrations within the local community.

Tension gripped the Government General Hospital in Andhra Pradesh’s Nellore after the murder of Hasini, a well-known transgender community leader, late Tuesday night. The victim was reportedly hacked to death by unidentified assailants in Tapathopu, Kodavaluru mandal. Her body was brought to the GGH mortuary, where the incident sparked widespread outrage.

In response, a large group of transgender individuals gathered at the hospital, including members from Nellore, Tamil Nadu, Tirupati, Vijayawada, and other regions. Demonstrators staged a protest at the mortuary, demanding swift justice for Hasini. The growing crowd prompted the authorities to set up heavy police barricades and deploy additional forces to maintain order and prevent further escalation.

Subsequently the authorities stated that there was rivalry between her and 2 other trans women, who hired assailants to assassinate her. 12 individuals were identified, with 3 remaining at large.
