The Manipur guilty will face the full force of the law, according to Home Minister Amit Shah.
Home minister Amit Shah said on Thursday that the Supreme Court has been informed of seven cases involving ethnic violence in Manipur that have been given to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). These cases include the May 4 mob assault on two women, which sparked outrage after a video of the incident went viral.
Briefing the media in details about the genesis of Kuki-Meitei conflict since the 1990s to the present situation in Manipur, Home Minister Amit Shah said that the videographer of the viral video involving hapless Kuki women has been arrested and the mobile from which he had taken the shots has been seized to unearth what prima facie appears to be a conspiracy to embarrass the Modi government on the eve of Monsoon session of Parliament. Due to the discovery that two additional viral movies being shared on social media to exacerbate the situation in Manipur originate from events in Myanmar in 2022, the police have filed a formal complaint against them.
The Union administration requested that the Supreme Court move the trial in the viral video case out of the state in an affidavit that was submitted to the high court earlier in the day. Only the Supreme Court has the power to move trials from one state to another.Since May 3, ethnic tensions in Manipur have resulted in at least 147 fatalities and 40,000 displaced residents, effectively dividing the state in half between the Meitei community, which dominates the plains and accounts for 53% of the state’s population, and the tribal Kuki group, which makes up 16% of the state.
