Manipur video: Supreme Court directs Centre, state govt to take immediate steps and apprise it on what action has been taken

 'We will give a little time to the government to act otherwise we will take action if nothing is happening on the ground'

PTI, New Delhi, 20.07.23 : The Supreme Court on Thursday said it is “deeply disturbed” by the video of two women in Manipur being paraded naked.

Terming it "simply unacceptable", a bench headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud directed the Centre and the state government to take immediate steps and apprise the apex court on what action has been taken.

"We will give a little time to the government to act otherwise we will take action if nothing is happening on the ground," the bench, also comprising Justices P S Narasimha and Manoj Misra, said.

Tension mounted in the hills of Manipur after a May 4 video surfaced on Wednesday showing two women from one of the warring communities being paraded naked by a few men from the other side.
