Rekha Sharma met the victims in Churachandpur on July 25, the first visit by any Central government representative since the violence occurred more than 80 days ago.

The National Commission for Women (NCW) chairperson made a quiet visit to Manipur this week to meet two of the three victims of the sexual violence on May 4, when they were stripped and paraded and one of them was raped in Thoubal. A video clip of the violence that surfaced last week had sparked massive outrage.

Rekha Sharma, chief of NCW, met the victims in Churachandpur on July 25, the first visit by any Central government representative since the violence occurred more than 80 days ago. A source said the NCW chief was in Manipur for three days.
