On Monday, the transsexual allegedly harassed a female journalist in Dhupdhora, Goalpara district, Lower Assam.
Trishna Das, a freelance journalist, was riding in a bus from Guwahati to Goalpara when the incident occurred.
Asad Ali aka Rekha, the apprehended suspect, has been recognised.
Meanwhile, the accused has been detained at Goalpara.
Two additional transgender people are apparently on the run, and authorities are on the hunt for them.
“I was traveling from Guwahati to Goalpara in a private ultra-bus today. After reaching Dhupdhora at around 12:20, the bus halted for a few minutes when a maskless person (what appeared to be a transgender) boarded the bus. The person started demanding money from people onboard.
“Then the person started misbehaving and touching me inappropriately several times trying to convince me to give some money. The person wasn’t wearing a mask. So, I asked the person to stay away when suddenly, the person started hurling slangs, verbally abusing me in public,” she added.
