IMPHAL: The naked parade in Manipur was loathed all across India and invited opprobrium even from apolitical minds. The horrific video saw a 21-year-old woman getting molested while being held captive by a mob. And now, adding more to the horror episode, the victim’s mother confirmed to the media about the mob killing her husband and younger son apart from gang-raping her daughter.

“ I carried all weight of hope on him, my younger son. They killed him and my husband. My older son is jobless and my daughter faced inhumane treatment from the mob. Our lives are tormented completely” the mother said.

She also said about the government doing nothing enough to stop the riots from spreading. Her Kuki family tried eloping the village on May 4th after a mob of Meitei tribes barged into Kangpokpi village and started vandalizing homes. The family was caught near a forest area and the father and brother were murdered. The 21-year-old daughter was made to walk naked across the village which PM Narendra Modi said was “ an act that shamed 140 crore Indians”.

Meanwhile, a 19-year-old has been arrested for the naked parade video of the Kuki woman in Thoubal district.
