The United Naga Council (UNC) condemned the incident where two women were stripped naked, groped and paraded in broad daylight by a "radicalized mob" on May 4, 2023 at B Phainom village, Kangpokpi district, Manipur.
The UNC said the beastly act of "sexually assaulting right before the law enforcing agency and unleashing a reign of terror have shattered the basic principles of democracy".
The UNC said no authority should ever allow the perpetrators involved in "such a heinous crime" to go scot free, and said the perpetrators involved in committing a "shameful act" should be given capital punishment to ensure that justice is delivered.
"Turning a blind eye or being biased to such a crime is a blasphemy... The UNC shares the pains and trauma of the victims," it added.
