Investigation into killing of 14 civilians in Nagaland will be complete within 2 days: Army Chief

Indian Army Chief Gen MM Naravane said that the investigation into the killing of 14 civilians in Nagaland will be complete within 2 days.

The Indian Army’s investigation into the killing of 14 civilians in Nagaland will be complete in a day or two and action against the erring army personnel will be taken in accordance with the law, Indian Army Chief Gen MM Naravane said.

Calling the incident where a team of Indian Army’s special forces in a case of mistaken identity shot dead 14 civilians assuming them to be armed insurgents in the Mon district of Nagaland “highly regrettable,” the army chief answering a question whether the army personnel involved will get any protection under the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPSA) said, “Law of the land is paramount and we will uphold that and take action accordingly.”
