Explanation
'Neel Darpan' (1860), Dinabandhu Mitra's play exposing the atrocities of indigo planters, was translated into English by Michael Madhusudan Dutta. The Reverend James Long only published the translation and was prosecuted in the famous 1861 libel case — he is the classic distractor here. Published solutions of this paper (testbook, prepp) confirm Dutta as the translator.
