Manipur was known for producing “champions, especially women champions” and Tamil Nadu was viewing the current state of affairs there with “deep concern and anguish,” Stalin said.
The CM said that Tamil culture was living by love and care and highlighted the saying “Yaathum oorey, Yaavarum kelir,” meaning “every place is mine, all people are my relatives.” This formed the basis of his directive on the Manipur sportspersons training in Tamil Nadu, he added.
Manipur Police arrested five men and apprehended a juvenile in connection with the May 4 parading of two women naked in Kangpokpi district of the state, officials told PTI on Saturday. Two women are alleged to have been sexually assaulted before being set free. A complaint in connection with the video was lodged on June 21 at Saikul police station in Kangpokpi district. The FIR filed in this case, a copy of which has been accessed by PTI, revealed the tale of mayhem which occurred before the abduction of the tribal women.
Police assured that strict security measures have been taken in all vulnerable locations of the state, which has been on the boil since May 3.
