Arrests Made in Manipur After Women Stripped and Paraded

Four men have been arrested in connection with the assault on two women in Manipur, India, who were stripped naked, publicly paraded, and allegedly gang-raped. The attack, captured in a viral video, sparked outrage across the country and led to condemnation from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the supreme court. The police faced criticism for their delayed response, as the incident occurred in May but no action was taken until the video went viral. The violence highlighted the ongoing ethnic conflict in Manipur, with the minority Kuki tribe facing targeted assaults and rape. The arrests have prompted protests and further scrutiny of the authorities' handling of the situation.
