Chief Minister N Biren Singh said strict action would be taken against all the perpetrators and the government was considering the possibility of capital punishment. "My hearts go out to the two women who were subjected to a deeply disrespectful and inhumane act, as shown in the distressing video that surfaced yesterday. After taking suo-moto cognisance of the incident immediately after the video surfaced, the Manipur Police swung to action and made the first arrest this morning," Biren Singh tweeted.

"A thorough investigation is currently underway and we will ensure strict action is taken against all the perpetrators, including considering the possibility of capital punishment. Let it be known, there is absolutely no place for such heinous acts in our society," he added.

On Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking to the media ahead of the Parliament session vowed that the guilty would not be spared. He said, "The incident of Manipur has put 140 crore Indians to shame. I want to assure the people of India that the accused will not be spared." He also requested all chief ministers to further strengthen law and order mechanism in their respective states, especially to protect women and to take most stringent action.
