Downright inhuman: Smriti Irani
Union Minister for Women and Child Welfare Smriti Irani spoke to the state chief minister and also responded to the alleged video.
Irani posted on Twitter saying, 'The horrific video of sexual assault of 2 women emanating from Manipur is condemnable and downright inhuman. Spoke to CM N Biren Singh ji who has informed me that investigation is currently underway and assured that no effort will be spared to bring perpetrators to justice.'
Cops making all-out effort to arrest culprits: SP
In a first official response to the alleged video the Superintendent of Police (SP), K Meghachandra Singh said a case of abduction, gang rape and murder was registered at Nongpok Sekmai Police Station of Thoubal district against unidentified armed miscreants. Investigation has started and the state police is making an all-out effort to arrest the culprits at the earliest.
The press note, issued by the SP, was also tweeted by BJP leader and IT Cell in-charge Amit Malviya.
