It is very unfortunate, says former CJI Ranjan Gogoi on horrific Manipur video

A day after a two-month-old viral video of two women paraded naked in Manipur surfaced on social media, former Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi called the event “unfortunate.”

However, the Rajya Sabha MP refused to comment on the matter. “There is nothing to comment. It is very sad…Of course, it is very unfortunate,” the former CJI said.

A video of the two-month-old incident went viral, eliciting harsh reactions from several political groups and sparking indignation.
