In a shocking development, all four accused individuals involved in the viral video sexual assault case have been remanded to 11-day police custody, as confirmed by the Manipur police in an official release.
Women in India's northeastern state of Manipur attacked the home of the main suspect in a sexual assault case that has outraged the nation, police said on Friday.
The person allegedly dragged two tribal women onto the streets in May and later incited a mob to rape them and parade them naked, police said on Friday, as ethnic clashes gripped the state.
The sexual assault happened more than two months ago but gained national attention after a short video surfaced on social media earlier this week.
The main suspect, a resident of violence-hit Manipur state, was arrested on Thursday hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the alleged sexual assault as "shameful" and promised tough action.
