The government today faced tough questions on Manipur, as the Supreme Court took up the petition of two women paraded naked and sexually assaulted by a mob. What happened in Manipur could not be justified "by saying that this and this happened elsewhere", Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud said, when a lawyer brought up the recent poll violence in Bengal. The Chief Justice raised six pointed questions and sought a response within 24 hours by the Centre and Manipur.
