GUWAHATI: Assam’s pioneering transgender advocate and former Lok Adalat judge, Swati Bidhan Baruah, found herself entangled in legal turmoil, culminating in her arrest and subsequent detention at Central Jail on Sunday.

Accused of allegedly coercing a young man, Mansoor Alam, to take drastic measures, Baruah’s journey from advocacy to imprisonment has sent shockwaves across the state.

The saga began on March 1, when Baruah was apprehended by the police, following allegations surrounding her involvement in Mansoor Alam’s ordeal.

The situation escalated dramatically as a crowd reportedly vandalised her workplace, adding chaos to an already tense situation.

The seeds of this unfolding drama were sown when Baruah lodged a rape complaint against Mansoor, a 20-year-old resident of Pandu who was employed in her office.

Mansoor was subsequently taken into custody, though he had secured bail prior to the latest developments.

However, Mansoor’s family’s claims that Baruah was pressuring him into marriage added a complex layer to the narrative.

Hindered by financial constraints that prevented him from hiring legal representation, Mansoor found himself trapped in a web of societal stigma and familial obligations, ultimately leading to his tragic decision to end his own life.

The police told the press that Mansoor’s mother had filed a complaint attributing her son’s death to Swati. The victim’s family asserts that Mansoor was facing pressure to marry.

As the legal proceedings unfold, Baruah’s arrest marks a stark contrast to her illustrious career in law and human rights advocacy.

Notable for her groundbreaking achievements, including serving as a Lok Adalat judge and championing transgender rights, Baruah’s dedication to fostering inclusivity and acceptance in society remains undimmed.
