Soon, Kumari publically appealed to the general public not to vote for her party, DSJP. She withdrew from the candidature position on the last day of the polling. [3]She The People

  • Anannyah underwent sex reassignment surgery in June 2020. In July 2021, she imposed harsh allegations on the doctor who conducted her surgery through a video. She stated in the video that she was not able to work properly due to severe physical pain. She said,

    Even when I stand for a longer time, sneeze, laugh or even brush my teeth, I have severe discomforts. I have also been experiencing breathing difficulties. I had wished for a sex reassignment surgery that will give me a vagina like a woman’s.. but my private part looks as if it has been cut ruthlessly with a knife. It cannot be called a vagina.. It is a surgery which is conducted very neatly and cleanly in India and elsewhere. I’m standing before you as a victim of gross medical negligence.”

    She further added,

    I want to regain my health, I want resurgey. I’m talking as a representative of many others like me. There are scores of people who have been victims of this. The money for the surgeries are painstakingly made by many through sex work, pooling from here and there, and even begging. And hospitals even charge more than what had been told before. But after all that, when this is the result people get, what are they supposed to do? Why are marginalised people like us being attacked like this for money?”

  • Days after Anannyah faced media to reveal her medical pain, she was found dead on 21 July 2021 in her Edappally, Kochi apartment. The cause of the death was suspected to be suicide by the local police. Police also stated that she was hanging from a fan in her bedroom.
  • Veena George, the Health Minister of Kerala said in a statement on 22 July 2021 that

    A transgender organisation had also given a complaint regarding this. An expert committee will be formed to study issues related to sex reassignment surgery.”

  • Reportedly, Anannyah changed and did multiple jobs as she was under financial pressure. [4]She The People

  • On 22 July 2021, Anannyah’s father told media persons that Anannyah was facing physical issues and maybe these hardships were the reason behind her suicide. He explained,

    Anannyah was my blood and I lost her. She had told me that hospital authorities were behaving in a hostile manner. I called her three weeks ago and she told me that she was facing hardships, including physical issues. It seems SRS and complications led her to take this extreme step.”
