Mon Killings News Today

A botched anti-insurgency operation resulted in the killing of 13 civilians in Nagaland's Oting in December 2021. The state police's SIT concluded that the victims were shot “with a clear intention to kill”.

The refusal of the Union government to grant permission to prosecute the accused personnel has created yet another roadblock to justice for the victims.

The SIT has accused the team commander of “deliberate omissions” and has alleged that his subsequent violent actions and cover-ups claimed the lives of 13 tribal men.

The civil society groups in Nagaland's Mon district have claimed they have "doubts on the credibility" of the Army's Court of Inquiry instituted to probe the Nagaland firing incident earlier this month where 14 people were killed.
