Nagaland Civilian Killings: 14 civilians and a soldier were killed in Nagaland's Mon district over the weekend, after a botched counter-insurgency op triggered a clash with furious villagers
Seven days ago, in Nagaland's Mon district, a botched Army op led to the death of eight civilians. Six more died in retaliatory clashes between security personnel and locals, in which one soldier was killed.
In massive protests in Mon today, furious residents have demanded an apology from Home Minister Amit Shah for his "false" and "fabricated" statement in Parliament this week.
Protesters burned an effigy of the Home Minister to underline the extent of their anger - both against Mr Shah and his allegedly incorrect statement and against the central government over the continued imposition of AFSPA, or the Special Forces Act, that, they fear, will be invoked to shield the guilty.
The protesters - who included residents from the village of Oting, the home of 12 of the 14 killed - were led by an apex body of tribes called the Konyak Union, and have demanded an immediate apology from Amit Shah and the withdrawal of his statement from the Parliament's records.
In the CCTV footage, the robbers can be seen opening all the jewellery boxes and taking out the ornaments - while holding the shop owners at gunpoint.
