Women in India’s north-eastern state of Manipur set fire to the house of the main suspect in a sexual assault case, in which two women, who belong to the minority Kuki tribe, were dragged onto the streets, paraded naked and allegedly gang raped by members of the majority Meitei tribe.

The attack caused outrage in India after video of it went viral on social media. The video also turned public attention to the violence that members of the minority Kuki community, in particular women, have faced since an ethnic conflict broke out in Manipur in early May. More than 140 people have died in the violence.
