A hermaphrodite died and six others were injured allegedly after being beaten up by a mob in the city's Badda area yesterday.
Following the death of Papia, 32, more than a hundred hermaphrodites staged a demonstration protesting the murder and demanded punishment to the killers.
The injured--Sumi, 25, Shapla, 28, Shanta, 16, Munmun, 25, Masuma, 25, and Mohona, 25--were admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH).
According to the injured, around 20 locals of Nayanagar at Bhatara beat them up mercilessly and pushed Papia off the rooftop of a six-storey building.
