However, the vehicle tried to flee, following which vehicle suspected of carrying insurgents, was fired upon resulting in the killing of six out of eight persons travelling in the vehicle”, the Minister said. “However, it turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. The two persons who sustained injuries were evacuated to the medical facilities by the Army personnel,” said the Union Home Minister. Upon receiving the news, Shah said, “local villagers surrounded the Army team, burnt two vehicles and assaulted them resulting in the death of one Security Force personnel and injuries to several others”. To disperse the crowd, Shah said “security forces opened fire which resulted in the killing of seven more civilians and injuring some others”. “The local administration and Police have tried to diffuse the situation, which remains tense but under control.” Nagaland Director General of Police and, Commissioner visited the spot on Sunday and an FIR was registered regarding the incident in Tizit Police Station, said the Union Minister.
