The video has triggered rage and distress among the masses and they have condemned this heinous crime. People have demanded strict actions against the culprits.
For the unversed, this incident took place in Manipur on May 4, a day after clashes broke out between the valley-majority Meitei and the hill-majority Kuki tribe over the Meiteis' demand for Scheduled Tribes status. Reportedly, only after more than two and half months, the case was registered.
