The
man
who
is
seen
molesting
the
women
in
the
naked
parade
video
in
Manipur
has
been
reportedly
arrested
on
Thursday.

The
accused
has
been
identified
as
32-year-old
Heradas
from
Thoubal
district,
police
said,
according
to
India
Today.
He
was
arrested
with
the
help
of
the
video
which
surfaced
online
on
Wednesday
evening.

The
accused
is
seen
wearing
a
green
t-shirt
in
the
viral
video.
A
video
surfaced
on
Wednesday
showing
two
women
from
one
of
the
warring
communities
being
paraded
naked
by
a
few
men
from
the
other
side.
The
incident
reportedly
occurred
on
May
4
but
came
to
light
only
yesterday.

Manipur
Chief
Minister
N
Biren
Singh
has
said
that
one
person
has
been
arrested
in
connection
with
the
incident,
so
far.
“My
hearts
go
out
to
the
two
women
who
were
subjected
to
a
deeply
disrespectful
and
inhumane
act,
as
shown
in
the
distressing
video
that
surfaced
yesterday.
After
taking
a
Suo-moto
cognisance
of
the
incident
immediately
after
the
video
surfaced,
the
Manipur
Police
swung
to
action
and
made
the
first
arrest
this
morning.”

If
Govt
Does
Not
Act,
We
Will:
Supreme
Court
Warns
After
2
Manipur
Women
Paraded
Naked
By
Mob

He
added,
“A
thorough
investigation
is
currently
underway
and
we
will
ensure
strict
action
is
taken
against
all
the
perpetrators,
including
considering
the
possibility
of
capital
punishment.
Let
it
be
known,
there
is
absolutely
no
place
for
such
heinous
acts
in
our
society.”

Meanwhile,
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi
has
said
that
guilty
will
not
be
spared.
“I
assure
the
nation,
no
guilty
will
be
spared.
The
law
will
take
its
course
with
all
its
might.
What
happened
with
the
daughters
of
Manipur
can
never
be
forgiven,”
PM
Modi
told
reporters
ahead
of
the
Monsoon
session
of
the
Parliament.
