When the man told her he did not have the money, she reportedly hit him with a slipper and then two of her friends joined her and thrashed the man on the road.

He told Bangalore Mirror that he was out on his regular morning walk and was neither carrying his mobile or wallet with him when the incident took place.

He said, ¡°I keep Rs. 10 or 15 to buy a newspaper on the way back home. It was around 8:00 am, and I had bought a newspaper and was returning home when an auto stopped next to me near New Weavers Colony. A transgender woman got down and asked me for Rs 10 and I told her that I did not have any money."

When she persisted, the man handed her Rs 5 that he had left with him.

He added, ¡°After taking the money, she began abusing me and did not allow me to move ahead. I tried to push her aside and walk away when two other men got down from the auto and held my hands. The transgender woman removed her slippers and hit me on my face. I managed to push them and run from there."

He then managed to flee into a small eatery.

He further said, ¡°The transgender woman came there and yelled at me, and accused me of trying to snatch her chain. She asked people not to interfere in the matter and picked up plates kept for washing and hit me on my head. I managed to run towards my house, but they caught me on the road and beat me black and blue. After they realised that they had dislocated my shoulder, they got inside their auto and left."

He also said that he was chased by them for about 800 metres and with the help of a passerby, he managed to contact his sons to let them know that he had been injured.

He added, ¡°The public too helped me and we learnt that the three often sit and drink at an empty plot nearby. My sons and the people on the road caught the three accused and handed them over to the police.¡±
