The Supreme Court is all set to send a team of officers “with no political alignment” to Manipur to look into the Manipur parading video case.
Manipur Parading Video
This was informed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud on July 31 while hearing a plea on the Manipur parading video case.
The apex court said that it does not want the case to be handled by Manipur police. However, it has further posted the matter to be heard on August 1 at 2 pm.
“This is not a situation like Nirbhaya which was one rape committed – that was also horrific but it was isolated. Here (Manipur violence) we are dealing with systemic violence which IPC recognises as a separate offence,” CJI Chandrachud said.
“So to restore a sense of faith in the administration, a court-appointed team has its own message to send that the highest appointed court is deeply concerned. It will send officers with no political alignment,” the CJI added.
