On Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a statement outside the Parliament on the Manipur issue. This was the first time, the Prime Minister spoke out on the issue two months after the Manipur riots started. Modi said that the scenes of violence and the incident of women being paraded naked in public were very painful. He added that not one of the culprits would escape punishment.

Meanwhile, the house of the main accused, who stripped and paraded women in Manipur, was set on fire by a group of people. The incident took place within two days of the release of a video showing women being paraded naked. A group set the house on fire this morning.

The incident happened on May 3 in Manipur's Kangpokpi. However, after the restoration of the internet system in the state, this shocking video surfaced only two days ago and led to strong protests across the country.

The police informed that four accused in the incident have been arrested so far. Following the shocking visuals, there has been a demand from some quarters to oust the chief minister. However, Chief Minister Biren Singh informed that the death penalty would be ensured for the accused.
