Nagaland Police has said that Indian Army personnel did not follow rules of engagement during the Mon anti-insurgency operation that left 14 civilians dead.
The Nagaland police on Saturday charged 30 soldiers in connection with last year's botched army operations in the Oting-Tiru area of Mon district, which killed 13 civilians.
At least 14 Nagaland civilians lost their lives after commandos of the 21 para-SF opened fire during a botched counter-insurgency operation on December 4 last year.
