00:00 A massive protest rally surged through the streets of Manipur's Churachandpur.
00:14 The fresh protests come a day after a two-month-old distressing video showing the public humiliation
00:20 and abuse of two tribal women went viral.
00:23 The 26-second video, which went viral on Wednesday, revealed two women being paraded naked and
00:27 sexually assaulted by a mob of men.
00:30 The video triggered widespread outrage and demands for justice.
00:33 Manipur police announced on Thursday that they have detained one of the primary suspects
00:37 visible in the video.
00:39 The accused, identified as 32-year-old Huirim Hiradas, was arrested in Thaubal district.

00:48 Following the surfacing of the video, Chief Minister N. Biren Singh assured the public
