Police have imposed Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) to prohibit unlawful assembly of eunuchs at public places in Maharashtra's Nagpur city for two months following extortion complaints against them, officials said.

There have been complaints that eunuchs visit public places, traffic signals, houses of people, wedding functions and other programmes without being invited, indulge in obscene acts, and threaten citizens to extort money from them, a release from the Nagpur police said.
