TL;DR Summary

Questions are being raised about the role of the police in Manipur, India, after a video went viral showing two women being paraded naked by a mob of men. The police have opened a case of gang rape and made four arrests, but many are questioning why it took them so long to act, as a police complaint had been lodged days after the incident. The survivors have accused the police of being present but not helping them, and it has been revealed that the mob allegedly took the survivors from police custody. The police have not denied the accusations, and some reports suggest they were outnumbered. The incident has sparked global outrage, with demands for action from the Chief Justice of India and disruptions in parliament. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has promised that "no guilty will be spared."
