SIT report on Oting shooting to be made public after receiving Centre's nod: CM

Kohima, March 2 (PTI): The findings of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) set up to probe the killing of 14 civilians by army para-commandos in December last year in Nagaland can be made public once the Centre gives permission to prosecute the culprits, Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio said on Wednesday.

The state government has received the report of the investigation team, the chief minister said on the sidelines of an official programme here.

The SIT will now file a case for prosecution of the accused persons in the incident. It will require the permission of the Government of India and once it is done, the investigation report will be in public domain, Rio said.
