Gang rape that rocked India… Women burned home of main rapist

In the state of Manipur in India, which has been the scene of violence recently, the house of the person who was determined to lead the gang was burned down by the women of the village, in the footage where 2 women were dragged naked and harassed.

According to the news from The Indian Express, after the images that were on the country’s agenda, the police arrested 4 suspects. After the police revealed the identity of the main suspect, Huirem Herodas, a member of the Meitei community, the women of the village of Pechi set fire to his house.

THE POLICE IS THE TARGET OF CRITICISM

Manipur State Chief Minister N Biren Singh made a statement on criticism that police action was delayed. Singh said that the determination of the file on the incident was delayed because the police had more than 6,000 initial information reports (FIRs) and that the suspects, whose identity was identified after the video was released, were detained.

State Chief Minister Singh denied allegations that “police were present at the time of the incident and handed over the female victims to the gang.” “After the video came out, I ordered the cybercrime unit to verify the authenticity of the video and tasked them with conducting a mass detection operation to trap the suspects in suspicious areas,” Singh said.

Members of the police in Thoubal district, on the other hand, stated that the nearby Nongpok Sekmai police station was raided by a group trying to loot weapons at the time of the incident, and that the police were busy protecting it. The officials said: “Yesterday we heard about the video. Now we have video proof. We took action and started detaining (the suspects).”

Describing the incident, the female victim said: “The police were there when the gang attacked our town. The police took us near our house and left us with the gang on the side of the road outside of town. The police handed us over to them.” she had used the phrase.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Images of gang members dragging and harassing two women identified as members of the Kuki ethnic group in the state of Manipur, India, became the agenda of social networks.
The police announced that the incident took place on May 4 and that an incident of kidnapping and gang rape was reported at that time in the Thoubal region.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a statement that the incident “brought shame on India” and said: “What happened to the children of Manipur will never be forgiven.” he had used the phrase.

While the Meitei community, which makes up 53 percent of the state’s population, organizes demonstrations claiming that it is not included in the “registered tribe” category, objections from groups, including the Kuki, which make up about 30 percent of the population, lead to violence. Due to the violence in Manipur, where the soldier was ordered to “shoot” on May 4, approximately 130 people lost their lives and 60,000 people were displaced. (AA)
