Rajasthan appoints 1st transgender constable after HC order
Rajasthan Police has appointed its first transgender constable, Ganga Kumari, after the state High Court's directive. Kumari had approached the court in 2015 after her appointment was put on hold due to reported lack of clarity in rules. Calling it a case of "gender bias", the court directed the force to appoint her within six weeks from date of order.
