Authorities are interrogating more than three dozen men in relation to the apparent sexual assault, Reuters reported.
Officials said Thursday that four people have been arrested and that police raids are ongoing. Manipur Police described the incident on Twitter as “a case of abduction, gang rape and murder” on Wednesday. The viral video depicts an incident from May 4, according to the Indigenous Tribal Leaders’ Forum (ITLF) but police only made arrests once the footage went online this week. A graphic video showing two women forced by a mob to walk naked in the northeastern Indian state of Manipur has sparked outrage after it emerged on social media and prompted the country’s leader Narendra Modi to break his silence on the months-long inter-ethnic conflict tearing the state apart.
