Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh said on Thursday that none of the guilty in the May 4 sexual violence case will be spared adding that he got to know about the incident only after a video went viral on Wednesday. He said that the government will seek capital punishment for the accused even as police confirmed that four persons have been arrested in the case.
Mr. Singh told The Hindu that thousands of First Information Reports (FIRs) have been filed since May 3 and the police will be investigating each case “one by one.” Manipur Governor Anusuiya Uikey met Director-General of Police Rajiv Singh and asked him to provide security to the victims, if required.
Till July 4, as many as 5,995 FIRs were registered in Manipur.
