Juvenile among 2 more apprehended in connection with Manipur parading incident

Date:

Imphal: Two persons, including a juvenile, were apprehended by Manipur Police on Saturday in connection with the May 4 parading of two women naked in Kangpokpi district of the state.

Till now, six persons, including one who was seen in a viral video dragging one of the women at B. Phainom village, have been nabbed.

Police said all-out efforts are being made to arrest the remaining culprits by conducting raids at many suspected hideouts.

They also added that strict security measures have been taken in all vulnerable locations of the state, which has been on the boil since May 3.

On the arrests, a statement by Manipur Police said, “As regard to the viral video of 02 (two) women on 4th May, 2023, another accused was arrested today. Altogether 06 (six) persons including 05 (five) main accused and 01 (one) juvenile have been arrested/apprehended in the case so far.” Earlier in the day, a 19-year-old man was arrested. The other fours arrests were made on Thursday, a day after the 26-second video of the horrific incident surfaced.

The two women are alleged to have been sexually assaulted before being set free. The four persons arrested earlier were remanded in 11-day police custody on Friday.

One of the women seen in the video is the wife of an ex-army man, who served as a subedar in the Assam Regiment and had even fought in the Kargil War.

A complaint in connection with the video was lodged on June 21 at Saikul police station in Kangpokpi district.

The FIR filed in this case, a copy of which has been accessed by PTI, revealed the tale of mayhem which occurred before the abduction of the tribal women.

The FIR also claimed that one person was killed by the mob as he tried to protect his sister from being raped on May 4 before the two were paraded naked and molested in front of others.
