Transgender journalist lodges report over wrongful arrest

IPOH: It was their biggest operation against transvestites but in their haste the Taiping Religious Department enforcement officers detained a non-Muslim. 

Ravi Varma Nambiar, 41, a journalist who said he was leading a transgender life, did not take the detention lightly and lodged a police report alleging abuse of power and brutality against the department’s enforcement officers in the 1am incident yesterday.
