NIA probe demanded during Delhi vigil for Nagaland murders

Delhi: Civil society groups of the Zeliangrong Naga tribe demanded a probe by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) into the March 22 attack at Lamhainamdi, a proposed village in Peren district in Nagaland, which left three people dead.

A joint candlelight vigil was organised and a memorial service held at the Nagaland House in the national capital by the Zeliangrong Students’ Union, Delhi (ZSUD) and Zeliangrong Welfare Association, Delhi (ZWAD) to protest the cold-blooded murders of the three young men Peramhialungbo, Sikamwangbo and Itingwangbe Haikam on late Tuesday evening.

Asking the state government to recommend an inquiry by the country’s top counter-terrorism task force, a prominent social worker from the community, Mathiupuang Gonmei, told EastMojo on Tuesday, “We want to request the Government of Nagaland to recommend a probe by the NIA so that the culprits are booked at the earliest to serve the cause of justice.”
