Centre asks CBI to probe Manipur viral video case, to seek trial outside state: Reports

Hindustan Times  

The Union home ministry has decided to refer the case of sexual assault on two women who were stripped and paraded by a mob to the Central Bureau of Investigation, news agencies reported on Thursday. The government will also file an affidavit requesting the Supreme Court that the trial of the viral video case take place outside strife-torn Manipur. The video of three women being stripped and paraded in Manipur surfaced on July 19, weeks after the incident took place, fanning fresh tensions in the state and leading to disruptions during Parliament’s monsoon session. The ethnic clashes first broke out on May 3 after members of the Kuki community took out a protest march against an order by the Manipur high court that recommended to the government that the Meiteis, the dominant community in Manipur with 53% of the population, be included in the scheduled tribe list. After the video of the sexual assault went viral, Prime Minister Narendra Modi broke more than two months of public silence over deadly ethnic clashes, saying that the assaults of two women were unforgivable.
