The accused was arrested from Thoubal district on Monday.
A seventh accused was arrested in connection with the horrific video that surfaced online showing two women being paraded naked by a mob in Manipur, police said. The accused was arrested from Thoubal district on Monday.
The video of the two women has drawn widespread condemnation from all quarters. A tribal organisation in Manipur has alleged that the two women were gang-raped in a field.
The Indigenous Tribal Leaders' Forum (ITLF) alleges that the incident occurred on May 4 in Kangpokpi district, 35 kilometers from the state capital of Imphal. However, the police maintain that the incident occurred in a different district, despite the First Information Report (FIR) being filed in Kangpokpi.
