The top court was hearing the centre's request to transfer the case of two women being paraded naked in strife-torn Manipur to a different state.
The government has no objection if the Supreme Court monitors the investigation in the case of two women being paraded naked in strife-torn Manipur, it told the top court after a request from the women's lawyer who argued the survivors should have confidence in the investigation.
"The government doesn't have the data now to tell you how many such cases have been registered. That shows the state of affairs," Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal, representing the women, said while requesting a Supreme Court-monitored probe.
Police were collaborating with the culprits who perpetrated the violence, Mr Sibal alleged, adding that the women sought protection from the police, but they took them to the crowd instead.
