A large group of 25 transgender individuals in Indore were hospitalized overnight after reportedly consuming phenyl. The alarming incident is under thorough investigation by local authorities, who suspect a dispute within the community may be a contributing factor. The situation escalated when police responded to a ‘ruckus’ at a house and found numerous people unwell from ingesting an unknown substance. Medical personnel at the government hospital have confirmed that the patients are stable and are undergoing medical care. The exact substance ingested is still being determined, though patients have identified it as phenyl. Investigators are working to uncover the reasons behind this mass ingestion, with a focus on potential internal community conflicts. Further details are expected as the investigation progresses and statements are obtained.
