Ramanagara, Feb 1: In a peculiar incident within the jurisdiction of the Aijoor police station, a man who disappeared seven years ago, leaving behind his wife and children, has been discovered living as a transgender person.

Laxman Rao, now identifying as Vijayalaxmi, went missing in 2017 due to financial challenges and had undergone a sex change during this time. The revelation came when a reels video surfaced, featuring Vijayalaxmi in a felicitation ceremony for Neetu, a transgender individual who participated in the Bigg Boss TV reality show.

Upon seeing the video, Laxman Rao's family members, who had been eagerly awaiting his return, alerted the police. Facial features in the video were found to match those of Laxman Rao's photo, prompting the authorities to trace Vijayalaxmi through the creator of the reels, Rashmika.

Laxman Rao, who had been married since 2015 and left behind two children in 2017, faced an emotional reunion with his wife. However, the police encountered difficulties in confirming his identity, as his entire physical appearance had transformed into that of a woman, except for facial features.

Despite initial denials from Vijayalaxmi, clever police tactics eventually convinced her to acknowledge her past identity as Laxman Rao. The family's hopes were shattered when Vijayalaxmi expressed no desire to return to her previous life or reunite with her wife and children.

Aijoor police station resolved the missing person case by obtaining an undertaking from Vijayalaxmi, leaving Laxman Rao's wife and children distraught and teary-eyed as they returned home without the reunion they had hoped for.
