NDTV
This is not the first instance where Thounaojam Brinda faced backlash; her previous remarks targeting the Arambai Tenggol and Meitei Leepun also incited widespread outrage.
An ex-police officer's home in Manipur's Bishnupur district was ransacked by a vigilante group, the Meria Paibi. The women's group had demanded the immediate relocation of the officer, also a woman - former Assistant Superintendent of Police Brinda Thounaojam - from Torbung area.
Brinda Thounaojam - hailed as a 'super cop' who took on the state's drug mafia - had fought last year's Assembly election from the Yaiskul constituency, on a Janata Dal (United) ticket, but was heavily defeated. The seat went to the BJP's Thokchom Satybarta Singh.
The stand-off is over the recording a phone call that was widely shared earlier and has now resurfaced.
