Fifteen people – thirteen civilians and a solider – died in a firing incident between Oting and Tiru villages in Nagaland’s Mon district on Saturday evening, Superintendent of Police Imnalensa confirmed.
According to an official, a group of daily-wage labourers from Oting village were returning home from a coal mine in a pick-up van when they were allegedly shot at by security forces. Local sources said that volunteers from the village had gone searching for them as they had not returned for several hours and found their bodies in the van.
In anger, the locals reportedly set two vehicles belonging to the security forces on fire.
The situation is now under control and police is conducting spot verification, the official added.
