Union Home Minister Amit Shah has intervened in the harrowing incident of sexual violence against women in Manipur. He personally spoke with Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh regarding the distressing video that emerged, showing two Kuki women being paraded naked by a group of men in the violence-hit state. 

The development comes after the main accused, identified as Heradas, was apprehended by the police on July 20.

On the otherhand, the opposition alliance INDIA demanded Prime Minister Narendra Modi make a comprehensive statement on sexual atrocities in the violence-hit state of Manipur at Parliament. 

Further, the opposition also said that a discussion on the issue can take place only after PM Modi's statement on Manipur.
