“Hence, it is obvious that the intention of the security forces is to murder and injure civilians,” the FIR mentioned.
At least 13 coal miners from Oting village in Nagaland’s Mon district were gunned down by security forces as a counter-insurgency operation went horribly wrong.
On Sunday, one more civilian was killed in firing by the Assam Rifles when an angry mob stormed into their camp in Mon town and set a part of their camp on fire.
