00:05 A shocking video of two women being paraded naked on a road by a group of men has spread rapidly on social media,
00:13 prompting widespread condemnation and urgent calls for action.
00:17 A particular tribal sect from Manipur alleges that the women were gang-raped in a field.
00:23 The distressing event occurred on May 4 in Kang Pok Pi district, about 35 km from the state capital, Imphal.
00:30 This has been claimed by the indigenous tribal leaders forum ITLF.
00:35 However, the police claim that the incident took place in a different district despite the first information report being filed in Kang Pok Pi.
00:43 In a press statement, the Manipur police said a case of abduction, gang rape and murder
00:48 was registered at Nang Pok Sekhmai police station against unknown armed miscreants.
00:55 Investigation has started and the state police is making an all-out effort to arrest the culprits at the earliest.
01:03 In response to this heinous act, Chief Minister N. Biren Singh has directed the police to prioritise the investigation.

01:42 and has questioned why the government is silent on Manipur.
01:45 Chadda, in his tweet, says that the BJP-led central government is busy with NDA optics
01:50 and questioned the role of a double-engine government in the state.
01:54 The action is likely to shift to the Parliament now as Thursday is the commencement of the monsoon session.
02:01 It is in all likelihood going to be marred by outrage over the Manipur video.
02:06 The government has said that it is ready to discuss all aspects, including that of Manipur.
02:11 Since May 4, internet services remain disconnected in BJP-ruled Manipur,
02:16 while sporadic violence persists in the state.

02:23 due to the ethnic violence that has claimed over 120 lives
02:27 and left thousands internally displaced seeking refuge in relief camps.
