Nagaland Killings: Distressing Scenes As Grieving Families Bury Loved Ones

Union Home Minister Amit Shah made a perfunctory statement in Parliament yesterday, but did not clarify if soldiers involved are to be protected under AFSPA

Two days after 14 civilians were killed in a horrifically botched op by the Army's elite 21 Para Special Forces, gut-wrenching visuals have emerged of grief-stricken families burying their loved ones in a mass grave.

12 of the 14 - killed in the Army op that went wrong and in retaliatory violence - were buried last night in an emotional ceremony. All 12 were from Oting village in Nagaland's Mon district.

The 12 were buried in a mass grave.

Distressing visuals showed one woman weeping uncontrollably over a coffin.
