A grieving video of two women being paraded naked in Manipur came to light on Wednesday, even though the incident happened two months ago on May 4 in Kangpokpi district. The video sparked widespread outrage, which led to the arrest of the main defendant, Heradas (32), who was identified from a viral video where he was seen wearing a green t-shirt. The minister confirmed the arrest took place on Wednesday evening.
A devastating landslide hit the Raigad district of Maharashtra early Thursday morning, affecting around 48 families. At least five people were killed and there were fears that several others could be trapped under the rubble. The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) immediately launched a search and rescue operation, deploying two teams to the affected area in Irshalwadi village, Khalapur tehsil, Raigad.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government faced harsh criticism on Wednesday for its failure to control violence in Manipur. The criticism comes after a disturbing video surfaced on social media, showing two women being gang-raped by a group of men and paraded naked in the street. The incident occurred on May 4 in Kangpokpi district, with at least 80 people killed and more than 40,000 displaced due to ethnic and community conflicts in the area since the beginning of May.
If the Police really wanted to, they could arrest all those 800 Meitei Hindu men.

The Supreme Court of India expressed deep concern about the sad images from the Manipur incident and called on the government to update the court on the actions taken to arrest the perpetrators and prevent such incidents from recurring. Chief Justice DY Chandrachud said the case was unacceptable in a constitutional democracy.
This is the story of another woman from Manipur who was kidnapped and beaten by a group of Meiteis. The incident happened a day before two nude women marched in the state.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed deep grief and anger over the incident in Manipur. He declared that any civil society should be ashamed of such actions, speaking before a parliamentary session.
Mankind died in Manipur.
The Modi government and BJP changed Democracy and the rule of law into Mobocracy by destroying the fragile social fabric of the state. @narendramodi ji,
India will never forgive your silence.
If there’s any conscience or shame left…

Political leaders as well as citizens expressed shock and condemnation of the incident in Manipur. Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra shared her heartbreaking response on Twitter, emphasizing the need for stronger condemnation of violence against women.
The horrifying video of the sexual assault of two women from Manipur is condemnable and downright inhumane. Talked to CM @NBirenSingh ji, who informed me that the investigation was currently underway and assured that no attempt would be made to bring the perpetrators to justice.

Pradyot Bikram Manikya Debbarma, leader of Tripura’s Tipra Motha Party, expressed concern about deteriorating relations between communities in Manipur. Indian Minister Smriti Irani called the video condemnable and inhuman, calling the incident horrific.
Disturbing videos emerged from Manipur of a woman from a particular community being paraded naked by a mob. There was a complete breakdown in the relationship of the two communities there. Hatred won in Manipur
