Beware! Fake eunuchs on the prowl

BANGALORE: Pickpockets and small-time thieves appear to have found an ingenious way of making a quick buck -- dress up as transgenders to fool the public, and keep wary cops at arm's length.

These petty con men try to join transgenders at traffic signals, begging and harassing the public. Sometimes, these fakes snatch chains and also rob commuters.

This con job came to light when real transgenders countered fake ones who "invaded their territory''. While a couple of them were bashed up, some were handed over to the police too.
