Manipur Violence Case Updates:
Media sources claim that two tribal women were gang-raped and killed in the violent state of Manipur on the same day that a video of two naked women being paraded by a group of twelve men went viral on social media.

On May 4 in the Manipur district of Thoubal, two Kuki women were gang-raped after being displayed naked by a mob. Nearly two months after the incident, the video became viral on social media, inciting outrage across the nation and prompting Prime Minister Narendra Modi to make a pointed remark.
According to reports, the incident happened immediately after fighting in Churachandpur, where the Kuki group had challenged a plan to provide scheduled tribe status to the dominant Meitei population.
On July 19, Manipur Police stated that a case had been opened at the Nongpok Sekmai police station in the Thoubal district on allegations of kidnapping, gang rape, and murder.
