Thangjam Manorama (1971–2004) was a 32-year-old woman from Manipur, India who was killed by the Indian paramilitary unit, 17th Assam Rifles on 11 July 2004.
Her bullet-ridden and badly mutilated dead body was found abandoned three kilometers away from her home where she was arrested the night before.
[2] The failure to assign culpability in the alleged rape and murder case led to widespread and extended protests in Manipur and Delhi.
[3] Five days after the killing, around 30 middle-aged women walked naked through Imphal to the Assam Rifles headquarters, shouting: "Indian Army, rape us too... We are all Manorama’s mothers.
It was seen as one of the partial victory, but the doubt remains the same as even in past, compensations were declared for victims of AFSPA, but courts could not spell any judgement against culprits for awarding punishment.
