Manipur’s Horrors
For the uninformed, the nation has been witnessing a massive public outcry ever since a video from Manipur’s B Phainom showing a large mob of 1000+ men assaulting and parading two Kuki women naked has gone viral on social media.
Soon after the video of the assault was made public, police immediately came into action and arrested the leader of the mob (Huirem Herodas Meiti 32) that was responsible for parading the women naked. However, this was the first arrest that was made in relation to the case and a large number of culprits are yet to be nabbed by the police.
