In a first, the Bihar Police have recruited a transgender person as constable. Accordingly, Rachit Raj has become the first transgender constable to be deployed in the confidential branch of the SP office in Kaimur district. Rachit Raj (23), who was earlier known as Rachana, said that despite being born as a girl, he never felt like wearing female dresses.

"When I was 17 years old, I was attracted towards girls rather than boys. It is extremely difficult to establish the identity of a transgender. When I went to the market, people passed comments. Many said that a girl was walking like a boy," Raj said.
