Manipur CM Biren Singh said strict action will be taken against all the perpetrators including considering the possibility of capital punishment.
A day after a video of women being paraded naked by a mob of men in Manipur surfaced online, Chief Minister Biren Singh announced that the first arrest has been made. The Manipur Chief Minister assured strict action against the perpetrators, adding that the possibility of capital punishment would be considered.
“A thorough investigation is currently underway and we will ensure strict action is taken against all the perpetrators, including considering the possibility of capital punishment,” Chief Minister Biren Singh wrote on Twitter on Thursday.
My heart goes out to the two women who were subjected to a deeply disrespectful and inhumane act, as shown in the distressing video that surfaced yesterday. After taking a suo-moto cognisance of the incident immediately after the video surfaced, the Manipur Police swung to action and made the first arrest this morning,” he added.
