India outrage after two women paraded naked in violence-hit Manipur
A video showing two women being paraded naked by a mob in the northeastern state of Manipur has sparked outrage in India.
A Man has been arrested as the police say they have opened a case of gang rape.
The monsoon session of parliament was disrupted as lawmakers demanded a discussion on the issue.
PM Narendra Modi also said the incident had “shamed India” and that “no guilt will be spared.”
“I assure the nation, the law will take its course with all its might. What happened with the daughters of Manipur can never be forgiven,” he said, finally breaking his silence on
Manipur more than two months after violence began.
Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud also expressed concern over the assault, saying it was “unacceptable” and the court was “deeply disturbed over the video”. Telling the government to inform the court about the steps being taken against the accused, the chief justice said “we will take action if you don’t”.
