New Delhi, July 31

Two women who were seen being paraded naked in the Manipur sexual violence video have moved the Supreme Court against the state government and the Centre.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said the Centre doesn’t have any objection if the Supreme Court decides to monitor the probe.

Mehta’s statement came after senior advocate Kapil Sibal, representing the two women shown in the viral video, told a three-judge Bench led by CJI DY Chandrachud that the probe should be conducted by an independent agency.

“We need an agency in which the victims have confidence,” Sibal told the top court.
