Manipur Violence: Trial Begins for Sexual Assault and Murder

A court in Guwahati has started a trial for a case that happened during the Manipur ethnic violence in 2023.

Three women were paraded naked and sexually assaulted, and two men were murdered.

Six people are accused of these crimes.

The court has charged them with murder, rape, and other serious offenses.

Some of the accused are in jail, while others are out on bail.

The court is also looking into other cases from the same period of violence, including the disappearance of two students and the murder of a woman.
