NEW DELHI, Jul. 27, 2023 (TBINN)

Central Bureau of Investigation will probe the case of sexual assault on two women who were stripped and paraded by a mob in Manipur and the government will seek its trial outside the state, officials said today.

The trial would be sought to be held in a court in neighbouring Assam, they added.

Officials also said the Union Home Ministry is in touch with both, Meitei and Kuki groups and talks are in an advanced stage to restore normalcy in Manipur.
