Manipur Horror: All 4 Accused Remanded To 11-day Police Custody

Police said the first arrested person was seen prominently directing the mob at B. Phainom village of Kangpokpi district in the video.


All the four accused, who were allegedly part of a mob that disrobed and paraded two women in Manipur on May 4, were remanded to 11-day police custody on Friday, police said.

The arrests were made on Thursday, a day after the 26-second video surfaced on July 19.

The complaint in this connection was lodged around a month ago – June 21 – at Saikul police station in Kangpokpi district.

Police said the first arrested person was seen prominently directing the mob at B. Phainom village of Kangpokpi district in the video.

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

The FIR filed in this case, a copy of which has been seen by PTI, revealed the tale of mayhem which occurred before the abduction and shameful behaviour with tribal women, a video of which has now formed the basis of raids and arrests of people connected with the incident.

The FIR 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.

More than 160 people have lost their lives, and several have been injured since ethnic violence broke out in the state on May 3, when a 'Tribal Solidarity March' was organised in the hill districts to protest against the Tribal Solidarity Marchs demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status.

Meiteis account for about 53 per cent of Manipur's population and live mostly in the Imphal Valley, while tribals, which include Nagas and Kukis, constitute 40 per cent and reside mostly in the hill districts.

Team India handed Pakistan their biggest defeat in the IND-PAK fixtures as the Men in Blue opened their account with a 228-run win in the Asia Cup 2023 Super Fours. Finally after several rain delays and frustrating two days of start-stop cricket, Team India scripted their biggest-ever win against Pakistan in ODI history surpassing their 140-run win in 2008, to open their account in the Asia Cup 2023 Super Fours on Monday, September 11 in Colombo. It was a combined team effort as the batters propelled the side to their joint-best score in ODIs against Pakistan while  Kuldeep Yadav 's five-wicket haul was the icing on the cake as Pakistan were skittled out for just 128 with two of their players not batting. Virat Kohli  and  KL Rahul  started watchfully from India's overnight score of 147 following quickfire fifties from skipper  Rohit Sharma  and  Shubman Gill  on Day 1. Kohli kept ticking the scorecard with singles and doubles and got boundaries at regular intervals. Rahul was
