A video of the ghastly incident, which reportedly happened on May 4, has gone viral on the internet. In the video, a group of men can be seen molesting and groping two naked and helpless women in broad daylight, who cried and pleaded with their captors.
Manipur state has been witnessing ethnic clashes since May 3 between the majority of the Meiteis, concentrated in Imphal valley, and the Kukis, occupying the hills. Over 160 people have been killed in the violence so far.
The Manipur Police have arrested the main accused in the incident after indentifying him in the video. The hunt for the others involved in the crime is underway. A case of abduction, gangrape and murder was registered at Nongpok Sekmai Police Station in the Thoubal district against unknown armed miscreants.
