On June 21, more than a month after the incident, a certain Thangboi Vaiphei, the head of B. Phainom village, filed a complaint about the incident at the Saikul police station, according to reports. The mob also gang-raped a third woman, according to the complaint. One case has been registered under Section 153A/398/427/436/448/302/354/364/326/376/34 of the Indian Penal Code and 25(1C) of the Weapons Act. A large group of men, mostly from the Meitei community, carrying “sophisticated weapons” attacked the village of B. Phainom on May 4, according to a complaint from the village chief. They stole all the valuables and necessities of the villagers, and also robbed the village houses. The mob committed rampant destruction and burned houses in the village. According to reports, 5 villages fled into the forest for fear of losing their lives. The Nonpok Sekmai police team was rescued and taken to the police station when the mob grabbed and re-attacked the individuals who were far from the police. Manipur paraded original viral video
While the mob forced three women to strip naked, one person was killed instantly. Some gangsters were gang-raped in broad daylight and the brother of one of the women who tried to save her sister was killed. The mob also killed a 56-year-old man, the second male in the victim’s family. With the help of some locals, the women managed to escape from the place. Condemning the incident, the Indigenous Tribal Leaders Forum also added that the video was shared by the perpetrators, in order to expose the identities of the female victims and further prolong their humiliation after the heinous crime. Manipur police issued a statement saying all efforts have been made to catch the culprits after the video went viral causing shock and outrage across the country.

The state was at peace, though tense with sporadic incidents of arson and gatherings, state police said July 19 in the past 24 hours. The police confirmed that an FIR has been registered, but clarified that it is under investigation and that so far no culprits have been identified in relation to the viral video. So far, 452 people have been arrested for violence and a total of 126 checkpoints have been set up in different districts. To help the police, they have made an appeal to the general public and have provided a free number 9233522822 for any information, request help or report illegal weapons, explosives and ammunition. You can see here that there is a YouTube video of May describing the incident and containing the victim’s response.
The government has issued an order to Twitter and other social media platforms, telling them not to share a viral video of two Manipuri women parading naked, according to the latest reports. Social media executives are abiding by Indian laws as the matter is currently under investigation. Publishing the identity of victims of sexual crimes is a punishable offense under Indian law. Manipur CM N Biren Singh tweeted about the incident and reported that the first arrest in the case was made on the morning of July 20, as per the latest development. It is significant that the first arrest was made on July 19 only after video of the incident went viral. On June 21, a report on the incident was filed.

It is well known that women’s bodies often become a battlefield during riots and conflicts, and that rape and sexual assault are used as instruments of violence to punish them. The sexual assault on Kuki women in Manipur is the latest example. It is disturbing to watch the video, which shows the women crying, writhing in pain and begging their attackers for mercy. In order to restore some kind of trust in Manipur, especially among the Kuki minority community, the authorities are now under pressure to act quickly against the perpetrators and bring justice for the women. People across the country feel that this should not be happening in modern India. A session of Parliament in Delhi was adjourned on Thursday as MPs demanded a debate on the issue. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also said that the incident “has shamed India” and that “no culprit will be spared.”
