Manipur Highlights | CMs Of Non-BJP Ruled States In Talks To Visit Manipur, Says Mamata

Manipur Women Naked Parade Video: Manipur Police have arrested four culprits who were part of the mob that attacked and disrobed the two Manipur women on May 4.

New Delhi/Imphal: The sexual assault and humiliation of two women who were paraded naked in a Manipur village on May 4 has sparked nationwide outrage with the Supreme Court taking cognizance of the ''extremely shameful'' incident and Prime Minister Narendra Modi warning that ''no one will be spared.'' Breaking his silence on the Manipur situation for the first time since the ethnic riots broke out in the north-eastern state, the PM said the incident had shamed 140 crore Indians.

For the unversed, a May 4 video of two Manipuri women being paraded naked and sexually assaulted by a violent mob in riots-hit Manipur's Senapati district went viral on social media on Wednesday, triggering national outrage, strong condemnation from all quarters and demands for stringent punishment for the culprits.

On the first day of the Parliament's Monsoon Session, the Opposition parties targeted the government and disrupted Parliament proceedings over the incident. Meanwhile, the Manipur Police arrested four culprits who were part of the mob that attacked and disrobed the two Manipuri women on May 4. Officials said several police teams were formed immediately after the video of the incident surfaced on Wednesday and more arrests will be made soon. A case of abduction, gang rape and murder against unidentified armed persons has also been registered.

The government also directed micro-blogging platform Twitter and other social media services to take down a video of two Manipur women paraded naked, since the matter is being probed. Sources said the videos were inflammatory, and as the matter is under investigation, Twitter and other social media companies have been asked to remove the video.

BJP charges opposition with not allowing discussion on Manipur in Parliament

The BJP said that a discussion on the situation in Manipur would have sent out a "meaningful and positive" message to the people of the violence-hit state but the opposition parties did not let it happen because they felt that incidents of "misbehavior" with women in Congress-ruled states as well as the violence during the West Bengal panchayat elections may also come up.
