The case of Manipur viral video that showcased two women being paraded naked will now be handed over to the CBI for investigation, according to the sources. The Ministry of Home Affairs has decided to refer this case to Central Bureau of Investigation along with filling the affidavit in Supreme Court requesting the trial of viral video case to take place outside Manipur. Notably, this comes following the seventh arrest in the petrifying case that jolted the entire nation. Meanwhile, as per top govt sources, State Police has nabbed the person who shot the viral video and seized the mobile phone. As per sources, Centre also held several rounds of talks with members of the Kuki and Meitei communities. The government sources also told that law and order situation is improving in the ethnic-clash-hit state.
