Supreme Court Orders Testimony in Manipur Sexual Violence Case Amid Trial Delays
The Supreme Court has directed the CBI to produce the third victim in the 2023 Manipur sexual violence case for testimony before a special court in Guwahati. The case involves three Kuki-Zo women who were stripped and paraded by a mob during ethnic violence, with two allegedly gang-raped. The trial has faced delays, prompting accused Yumlembam Jiban Singh to seek bail citing slow proceedings. The court scheduled consecutive dates in October to complete witness examinations and will hear the matter after November 19.
