After the Kuki-Meitei clash in Manipur on May 4, Kuki women were forcibly stripped and paraded naked under threat of death. A video of the incident emerged over 2.5 months later. An investigation is ongoing, and although a complaint was filed a month ago, no arrests have been made. The incident was reportedly triggered by false rumors of a Meitei woman’s gangrape, which never occurred.
