Today, the Supreme Court said that the visuals point to a gross constitutional failure on condemned the video of two women being paraded naked in Manipur.

The Chief Justice of India, DY Chandrachud, directs state government to take strict action and also keep the court apprised about the steps being taken to ensure safety of women in the region.

"We are very deeply disturbed about the videos distributed yesterday. We are expressing our deep concern. It is time that the government steps and takes action. This is unacceptable," DY Chandrachud said.

"We are of the view that court must be apprised of the steps taken by the government so that perpetrators are booked for such violence. What is portrayed in the media and visuals which appeared shows gross constitutional violation,"

The video also drew wide condemnation across political parties and Union minister Smriti Irani said she spoke to chief minister N Biren Singh after seeing the inhumane, shocking video. Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Jairam Ramesh, Sachin Pilot, Shiv Sena (Udhhav) leaders Aaditya Thackeray, Priyanka Chaturvedi, Trinamool leaders Mahua Moitra, Saket Gokhale strongly condemned the video seeking PM Modi's statement on Manipur which has been witnessing violence since May 3.

In the video that has triggered massive condemnation and demands for action, two women were paraded naked by a mob, molested and dragged to a field, where they were allegedly gang-raped.
