Update: Manipur video: CJI DY Chandrachud says if the law and order machinery cannot protect the people, what happens to them?
When Supreme Court asks how many arrest Manipur police has made, Solicitor General says 250 arrests have been made and 12,000 arrest as preventive measures.
"Have any arrests been made of the police? Did the DGP care to find out in all these months? What has he done? It is his duty. Did they interrogate the police officers?" asks the Supreme Court.
Supreme Court observes that one thing is very clear there has been a long delay in the registration of FIRs.
Referring to an incident of a woman being dragged out of a car and her son being lynched to death in Manipur, Supreme Court says the incident happened on May 4 and FIR was registered on July 7.
CJI Chandrachud observes that it appears except of 1-2 FIRs there is no arrest at all. "Investigation is too lethargic, FIRs registered after two months, and statements not recorded," the SC observed.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta appearing for the government says an affidavit in the case has been filed.
SG: I am trying to be as impartial as I can, I am addressing dispassionately, only on facts.
SG: The state government and the relevant authorises are sensitive to the issue. FIRs have been registered. Due to the law and order situation out of the zero FIRs, most have been transferred few are in process of transfer.
