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.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
