NEW DELHI: Manipur
Police
personnel allegedly drove the two tribal women, who had sought refuge in their official gypsy, to a
mob
of around 1,000 rioters in Kangpokpi district,
CBI
chargesheet has stated. The
women
were subsequently stripped naked and paraded before being brutally gang-raped during the violence in the state, the chargesheet added.
It said the mob had attacked a third woman too, and tried to strip her but failed in the attempt as she was clutching her granddaughter.
She managed to escape after the group attacking her went towards the first two victims who were being tormented in the paddy fields.
The victims sought help of policemen present on the spot, but no help was extended to them, the chargesheet stated.
One of the women, wife of a war veteran, desperately asked the cops to drive them to a safe location but were allegedly told that “there was no key” (of car) and didn’t provide any help.
