A day after a 36-year-old trans person was killed in full public view in Goregaon West, Bangur Nagar police have identified three suspects believed to be aged between 17 and 19 years. They are also looking for a friend of the victim Suresh Mastud, alias Surya, ruling out the earlier robbery angle.

Sources in the police department said they are not rushing to arrest the suspects since one or two of them could be minors. They said Mastud's murder appears to be a case of contract killing using juveniles, who cannot be confined beyond three years under the law.
