Nagaland shootout: SIT to quiz soldiers today; 2 witnesses depose before CoI

The Special Investigation Team (SIT) established by the Nagaland government will investigate the botched operations of 21 quasi-special forces in the state on December 4, and will begin to question the officers and soldiers involved in the incident in Jorhat, Assam on Thursday. . SIT is expected to submit a report next month.
At the same time, the Army Court of Investigation (CoI), led by a major general, recorded the statements of two witnesses in the Mon district of Nagaland on Wednesday, including the Bharatiya Janata President Niwan Konyak​​​ , The incident eventually resulted in the death of 14 civilians and one soldier, which occurred.
A senior official said that the CoI team inspected the scene near Oting Village in Mon District, Nagaland State, “to understand the possible circumstances of the incident.” “The CoI team also took away witnesses to better understand the situation and the sequence of events that occurred. Subsequently, the team also stayed at the Tizit police station for an hour and a half to meet with all walks of life in order to obtain valuable information about the incident. “He added.
The officer said that the Army will provide all assistance to SIT, including interviewing personnel and records. Konyak was a key witness in this incident. He survived the shooting that day. He told the Times of India that the army team recorded the statements made by him and the village guard commander Lemwang. Both are residents of Orting.
At noon, the Army investigation team arrived at the scene of the incident in a private car. On Tuesday, the Konyak civil society organization issued a statement asking the Army investigation team not to wear uniforms or carry weapons.
“They (the army) only recorded the statements of two people from Orting Village. I told them everything that happened on December 4. The commando also shot me and my companions that day. I heard that the villagers also attacked. The army commando retaliated and I hurriedly said yes. But when I saw me, even though the BJP flag on my car was very obvious, the commando opened fire on us. My driver was hit by a bullet and was injured while the other accompanied me. People were killed. Today, I showed my vehicle with bullet holes to the Army team,” Konyak said.
He added: “I have asked them to retract the statement (issued by Amit Shah in Parliament) that army personnel will only fire when the villagers’ vehicles have not stopped after receiving a signal.”

2 ‘Kala Jatheri gang members’ killed in encounter with F’bad cops in Fatehabad

According to the police, the encounter took place after at least four suspects tried to help their close aide escape from police custody
The Faridabad police gunned down two members of the Kala Jatheri gang in an encounter near Fatehabad on Friday, officers said. A constable was injured in the gunfight, they added.

The identity of one of the deceased was not known, while the other was identified as Ravi (single name), who had 28 cases lodged against him in multiple districts.

Aman Yadav, assistant commissioner of Police (ACP), Faridabad said the incident occurred when the police van stopped near a roadside eatery on the outskirts of Fatehabad while transporting Ravi back to Faridabad jail after a court appearance in an Arms Act case.

“Four armed individuals attacked the police team, firing multiple rounds to facilitate Ravi’s escape. In retaliation, police returned fire, killing Ravi and another suspect on the spot,” Yadav said.

Constable Sarjeet Yadav suffered a gunshot wound to his left forearm. He was rushed to a civic hospital, where his condition is reported to be stable, said police.

Yadav said that Ravi, who had been lodged in Faridabad jail since April 24, 2023, was being transported after attending an appeal hearing at the Fatehabad court. The ambush, allegedly orchestrated by Ravi’s associates, was intended to secure his release from custody. The police’s swift response thwarted the plan.

Ravi had a long history of violent crimes, including murder, attempted murder, dacoity, robbery, and Arms Act violations. His activities spanned multiple districts, such as Sonipat, Jind, Rohtak, Faridabad, and Delhi. He was a key member of the Kala Jathedi gang, led by the notorious gangster Sandeep alias Kala Jathedi, who is currently in Tihar Jail.

Kala Jathedi himself is implicated in over a dozen cases across Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. In 2020, he famously escaped from Haryana Police custody during a similar ambush orchestrated by his gang.

ACP Yadav confirmed that police teams are actively investigating to identify the remaining attackers involved in the ambush. “We are working to uncover the identities of the other suspects who participated in the operation. Stringent action will be taken against all involved,” Yadav said.

This encounter is part of an ongoing crackdown on organized crime, with authorities aiming to dismantle gangs operating in the region.
