The joyous moment of a man receiving the delivery of a new luxury car in Hyderabad unexpectedly became a subject of controversy. It is claimed that, immediately after the delivery, a group from the transgender community surrounded the car and allegedly demanded ₹2 lakh. The video of the incident quickly went viral on social media, where internet users called it “madness.” However, other users cited the helplessness of transgender people and pointed to their financial problems.
Video surfaced on X
This video was shared on X by the handle @Netajinonsense1. The video shows four or five transgender people standing around the new car outside the showroom. They are seen standing in front of and around the car, some leaning on or lying in front of it. The driver is trying to move, but the group refuses to budge. According to reports and alleged claims, the group demanded ₹2 lakh (200,000 rupees) in the name of “shagun” (good luck) or congratulations. However, this claim cannot be verified due to the lack of sound in the video. The incident reportedly occurred during a new car delivery in Hyderabad.
