The incident reportedly took place on 4th May 2023, a day after the unrest began in the neighbour state but the video surfaced only on the 19th July, sending a shockwave of shame and anger across the nation. Along with widespread condemnation, the opposition and various civil organisations are also demanding that Singh be axed from the post and President’s Rule be imposed in the state.

Zhimomi firmly condemned the incident and expressed solidarity with the victims and their families. “This is beyond governance, beyond politics. Such incidents should never occur in the first place,” he said, emphasizing that justice must be served swiftly.

“I am sure the Biren Singh government will do justice and leave no stone unturned. I hope peace prevails sooner than later,” added the Minister.

The nation remains vigilant as it awaits further developments on the investigation into the shocking incident in Manipur. The demand for justice, unity, and harmony among different communities resonates strongly, with hopes that peace will prevail in the region.
