CHENNAI: A 21-year-old  transgender lodged a complaint with police commissioner T Rajendran on Wednesday alleging harassment by personnel from the Anna Square police station.

Sabitha in her complaint said she and four other transgenders had, around 7 pm on Tuesday, gone to the Marina beach where four police personnel asked them to leave.

"The others with me fled but I was caught. One constable caught hold of my saree and harassed me. The others hit me with lathis and after this I could not walk," said Sabitha, a graduate.
