Earlier, on July 27, the Centre asked the Supreme Court to hand over the case to CBI and requested it to direct the trial to be conducted outside Manipur and underlined that the trial should be conducted in a time-bound manner.
Centre stated that regarding the incident of sexual assault and violence on two women, the Union Home Ministry has been continuously monitoring developments of the case after it came to light.
