Accused number one, who was arrested earlier, his house was burnt by Meira Paibi (mother in Manipur) yesterday. This protest is to support the government to punish the accused.,” CM N Biren Singh added.

“Everyone is outraged since the viral video surfaced. In our society, all women are seen as mothers and sisters, which is why protests have erupted across the state in demand for strict action against the accused,” the CM said.
