Nagaland Firing: Army OKs Probe Team Access To Jawans, Say Police Sources

Nagaland ambush: The state's investigation team has recorded the statements of soldiers who were involved in the operation, which claimed the lives of 14 civilians

An army team that reached Nagaland to probe an ambush that went horribly wrong on December 5 has allowed the state's investigation team to record the statements of soldiers who were involved in the operation, which claimed the lives of 14 civilians, police sources have said. A soldier died in a subsequent attack by villagers, who surrounded the jawans in anger.

The Nagaland Special Investigation Team, or SIT, is likely to complete recording the statements of the 21 Para Special Forces soldiers this week, police sources said.
