In addition to TV9 Telugu and Sakshi TV, a complaint had also been filed against ETV Telangana but the NBDSA found no violation by the channel. What was the overarching public interest in the police recording footage of mere party-goers who aren't even the accused and then passing it on to the media? Why did the police and the media violate the privacy of the party-goers? Why were they detained through that night in the police station?” asks Vyjayanti.

Vyjayanti Vasanta Mogli, a transgender RTI activist and the co-founder of Telangana Hijra Intersex Transgender Samiti (THITS), tells TNM that many of those who were seen in the video, though they were not booked in any case, had to face repercussions. “The trans community in Hyderabad was appalled.” The channels repeatedly broadcast their visuals, and some channels made statements that members of the hijra community were ‘obscenely dancing.’ They said that condoms were found inside the house where the party was hosted and it was portrayed as something so scandalous,” shares Indrajeet Ghorpade, who is an LGBTQIA+ rights advocate who filed the complaint against the channels with the NBDSA.
