Manipur horror
On July 19, a video of the Manipur horror surfaced on social media, shaking the nation’s consciences. The video was shot on May 4 when a large number of men made two women parade naked and molested them.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) registered an FIR to assume control over the probe into the alleged rape incident in Manipur’s Thoubal area, where two women were stripped and marched naked. Under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and IT Act, the central agency has filed a case for murder, gang rape, outraging modesty, and criminal assault.
Ever since the violence began in Manipur, more than 10,000 FIRs have been registered while over 180 people have lost their lives.
