Complete breakdown of law and order in Manipur, says SC summons DGP
New Delhi, Aug 1 (PTI) There is complete breakdown of law and order and constitutional machinery in Manipur, an outraged Supreme Court observed on Tuesday while terming the investigation carried out by the state police as “tardy” and “too lethargic”.
Excoriating the law enforcement machinery over unbridled ethnic violence, it said the state police have lost control over the law and order situation, and demanded the personal presence of the Director General of Police (DGP) when it hears a clutch of petitions on the mayhem in the northeastern state on Monday.
The bench headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud, which had called as “deeply disturbing” the May 4 video of two women being paraded naked, sought details from the state government about the date of occurrence of the incident and registration of ‘zero FIR’ and regular FIR in the case.
