India: 4 accused in Manipur sexual assault case remanded to 11-day police custody

All four accused in the viral video case have been remanded to 11-day police custody, Manipur Police have said to ANI.

Women in India's northeastern state of Manipur attacked the house of the main suspect in a sexual assault case that has enraged 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 and parade them naked, police said on Friday, as ethnic clashes engulfed the state.

The sexual assault took place over two months ago but it captured national attention after a short video went viral on social media earlier this week.
