Some Lesser Known Facts

Lalita hails from Majalgaon and was born into a lower-middle-class family.
During her childhood, she dreamt of becoming a singer.
At the age of 7, she underwent a medical procedure where a mistaken diagnosis led to the incorrect removal of an underdeveloped testicle.
In 2010, Lalita became a member of the Maharashtra police force.
In 2017, she sought to transition from female to male and requested a month's leave for sex reassignment surgery, which was denied by the police department, leading to termination of employment.
Following a legal battle, Lalita approached the Bombay High Court, which formed a medical board at JJ Hospital consisting of various specialists to evaluate her eligibility for the procedure.
The medical board, comprising gynaecologists, radiologists, plastic surgeons, urologists, physicians, psychiatrists, and forensic experts, approved Lalita for the sex change operation.
