The Manipur police have detained over 13,000 people, holding them in preventive custody, and destroyed nearly 290 bunkers over the past fortnight, to bring a semblance of law and order in the violence-hit State.
The police have also identified 12 to 14 people who can be seen in a viral video of the sexual violence incident that occurred on May 4 in Thoubal district, a police source said on Sunday. Three women were stripped and paraded, and one of them was raped. The video of the incident surfaced on social media last week, provoking outrage across the country.
Six people have been arrested in the case so far, including a juvenile, Manipur police said in a tweet. “There are others who are not visible in the video but are involved in the crime. Raids are on. Some of them have gone into hiding,” the source said.
