DIMAPUR, JULY 20 (MExN): The Naga Students Federation (NSF) and the Naga Peoples' Movement for Human Rights (NPMHR) have expressed dismay over the delay in the delivery of justice for the victims of July 16 killing at Wuzu village under Phek District.
A joint press statement issued by NSF and the NPMHR on Friday said three years have passed since the killing of 13 years old Aso and 14 years old Tüzali on July 16 by the Assam Rifles headed by Major Surinder Singh of the 46 AR C Coy, Akhwego Post at Wuzu village under Phek District and more than two years since the Joint Inquiry Commission (JIC) was formed to investigate on the killings of the Wuzu Firing Incident.
The JIC was set up by the Nagaland State Government on November 22, 2015 to investigate into the incident, where in affidavits were filed and had further undergone cross examination. This was followed by court summoning of the eye witnesses and parties that had filed the written statements, but despite of the ample time and evidences, the JIC has not come to any concrete conclusion, the joint press statement lamented.
In this connection, the NSF and the NPMHR has questioned the JIC on how long it would take to deliver justice. It has demanded that the enquiry be expedited to deliver justice to the victims, families of the victims, and the communities and villages affected by the killing at the earliest possible time.
