00:26 hoped that the perpetrators get a punishment so harsh that no one dares to repeat this
00:31 act.
00:32 Actress Richa Chadda quote tweeted, "A piece of news of the Manipur violence fumed at the
00:38 lawlessness of the state," she wrote.
00:40 "Shameful.
00:41 Horrific.
00:42 Lawless."

00:48 said that the video is bound to shake people to the core.
00:53 Actor-comedian Veer Das in a series of tweets questioned the silence and inaction of political
