Manipur

Recently a video is going viral in which some demons are doing such acts with two women which no violent animal would do. Even considering these demons as humans is an insult to humanity.

These shameless demons are parading women in public and misbehaving with the weak people in public. At the end of the procession, these women were gang-raped and now nude videos of these women have also gone viral. A woman is sitting on the highest post in the country in a civilized society and yet how can anyone even think of doing this level of brutality with women in a part of the country?

It is the Kathua, Unnao, Hathras or Bilkis incident.
