Manipur: India outrage after two women paraded naked in violence-hit state
A disturbing video has emerged from violence-torn Manipur showing two women, reportedly belonging to the Kuki-Zo tribes, being paraded naked on the road by a group of men and then allegedly gang-raped in a nearby field. The sickening incident reportedly took place on May 4 and a video of the despicable act surfaced on social media on Wednesday, showing two Kuki-Zo women being paraded naked, molested, and groped by a group of men, purportedly belonging to the Meitei community. The women were later allegedly gang-raped in a field near the roadside. The horrifying video has sparked outrage and resulted in more tensions in the conflict-torn northeastern state that has witnessed widespread destruction and deaths since the outbreak of ethnic violence in May this year.
Police said a case of abduction, gang rape, and murder has been registered and have arrested a man, adding that others will be held soon.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also said the incident had "shamed India" and that "no guilty will be spared".
