A rights group has asked the Centre to sanction the prosecution of the Army personnel found to be involved in the killing of civilians in Nagaland’s Mon district in 2021 and make the findings of a special investigation team (SIT) public.
Soldiers of an elite unit of the Army had on December 4, 2021, gunned down 13 civilians near Oting village in a botched ambush. Another person was killed in Mon, the district headquarters, on December 5 when the Assam Rifles personnel fired at an angry mob that protested the Oting killings.
