In order to arrest the culprits who raped and attempted to murder a girl studying in Class IX at Viewland, Senapati district, a police team led by an IGP and a DIG has been camping at Senapati .
This was stated by Chief Minister N Biren in the State Assembly today in response to a call attention motion raised by Congress MLA AK Mirabai .
Mirabai said that Manipur recorded 25 rape cases and 35 cases of missing women during the past 6/7 years .
She asserted that cases of violence against women have been soaring because police are unable to take up effective measures in time .

In connection with the shocking crime that took place at Senapati, police pulled up an individual but he was later freed as he was found innocent, Biren told the House.
Together with local NGOs, a police team headed by an IGP and a DIG have been working to pull up all the culprits .
While stating that the Government always takes serious note of all crimes against women, the Chief Minister expressed deep concern over the degrading morality of youth .
In line with the popular wish, a fast track Court has been set up to deal with crimes against women, Biren stated .

The Government has been providing all possible assistance to the victim and the Government is ready to provide necessary aid if she needs to be taken outside the State for treatment, Biren added.
