NEW DELHI: The CBI has taken over the investigation in a case of alleged sexual assault on two women by a mob in Manipur in May, officials said on Saturday.
A video purportedly shot on May 4, showing the two women being paraded naked, went viral earlier this month, resulting in a massive uproar across the country.
The case was handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on a reference from the Union home ministry, the officials said.
The CBI has taken over the FIR registered by the Manipur Police against unidentified people in accordance with its procedure.
