NSF demands court monitored probe into Nagaland firing
Protest rallies were organissd by the influential Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) in Kohima on Friday demanding repeal of the Armed Forces (Special Power) Act, 1958 (AFSPA) and a court monitored probe into the killing of 14 civilians by armed forces personnel due to “mistaken identity” in Nagaland on December 4.
The NSF in a memorandum to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanded to constitute a court monitored committee headed by a retired Supreme Court or high court judge to ensure free and fair probe into the matter.
“The Special Investigation Team (SIT) constituted by the Nagaland government to probe the December 4 incident would not do justice to the wilful acts of the armed forces under the protection of the repressive AFSPA,” the memorandum said.
Thousands of men and women took part in the protests displaying banners and placards that read “how many times bullets will be fired before repealing AFSPA”, “AFSPA rears devil in the Indian armies” and “ban AFSPA, not our voice” etc.
Protests are continuing in different parts of Nagaland since the December 4 firing by the security forces, and the biggest protest rallies were organised in the capital city on Friday.
Various Naga civil society organisations, including the Konyak Union and the Eastern Nagaland Peoples’ Organisation (ENPO), have been spearheading the agitations, while the NSF took the lead in Friday’s protest rallies.
Demanding immediate arrest of the soldiers involved in the December 4 firing, the protesters also demanded to withdraw Home Minister Amit Shah’s “false and fabricated” statement given in the Parliament on December 6.
Shah in his statements in both the Houses of Parliament had said that during the ambush in Mon district in Nagaland, a vehicle reached near the barricade and the army soldiers tried to stop the vehicle, but it did not stop.
“On suspicion of the vehicle having insurgents, it was attacked in which six out of eight people were killed and several were injured,” the Home Minister had said.
The NSF in its memorandum to the Prime Minister demanded repeal of AFSPA, justice for the victims and arrest of the jawans who were involved in the firing.
Detailing the incidents of “killing and torture by the security forces since 1960”, the memorandum said that the “government of India continued to suppress the legitimate people’s movement through military means even after having realised that the same would not reap the desired dividends”.
“Some Indian leaders are coming out publicly to defend the atrocious acts and thereby legitimising the murders, tortures, rapes, molestations of innocent Naga civilians and botched army operations, deeply hurting the sentiments of the Naga people while also flaring up our emotions,” the six-page memorandum said.
Konyak civil society organisations had earlier announced total non-cooperation with the armed forces besides imposing restrictions on their movement in the tribal dominated areas. They also said that no ex-gratia or compensation from the government would be accepted until justice was delivered to all the 14 victims.
Meanwhile, the business advisory committee of the Assembly on Friday finalised the schedule of the special session of the Assembly on December 20 to discuss and pass a resolution for repealing AFSPA.

Mumbai Police Bust Fake Goregaon Call Centre Defrauding Foreigners; 13 Held

The Mumbai Crime Branch Unit 12 has uncovered a major scam targeting foreign nationals, following a raid on an unauthorised call centre in Goregaon. The update was first shared by Mumbai Police on X, highlighting how unsuspecting victims were tricked into paying large sums of money under the pretext of antivirus software renewal.
Investigations revealed that the accused were sending fraudulent emails, posing as legitimate antivirus renewal alerts. Once the victims responded, they were coerced into purchasing gift cards ranging between $250 and $500. These cards were then redeemed and converted into cryptocurrency, making it nearly impossible for victims to track their losses.
The racket primarily preyed on foreign nationals unfamiliar with the setup. Officials said the scam was designed to create panic among users by suggesting that their computer security had expired, pressuring them into making quick payments.
During the raid, police seized 15 desktop computers, 10 laptops, and 20 mobile phones used to run the fraudulent operations. Documents and data recovered from the systems are now being examined to determine the scale of the fraud and to identify additional victims.
Thirteen individuals have been arrested in connection with the racket. This includes two owners who were running the operation, one manager overseeing daily activities, and ten tele-caller agents responsible for contacting and convincing the victims. Police said the arrests mark a significant step in cracking down on cybercrime networks exploiting international victims.
The Mumbai Police emphasised that this bust highlights the evolving nature of cybercrime and the need for continuous vigilance. Authorities added that further investigations are underway to uncover links with larger international fraud syndicates.

Thane: 27-Year-Old Man Thrashed By Mob For Objecting To Public Urination In Kalyan

Thane: A 27-year-old man was brutally assaulted by a group of around 15 people after he questioned a drunk man for urinating in a public place near Murbad Road in Kalyan. The shocking incident occurred around 10:30 pm on Friday near Mhaskar Hospital Chowk.
The victim, Kaustubh Mahendra Yerpude, a resident of Murar Bagh, sustained serious injuries after one of the attackers struck him on the head with a beer bottle, causing heavy bleeding.
Kaustubh, who works at an insurance company in Mumbai, was returning home from Kalyan railway station on his two-wheeler along with his friend Sachin Dombe. When their bike stalled near Bhagwan Medical, they pushed it to a nearby repair shop. Exhausted and sweating, Kaustubh stepped into a dark corner near Rohit Wine Shop.
There, he encountered a 35-year-old drunk man urinating in public. When Kaustubh questioned the man’s behaviour, the man became aggressive and slapped him. An argument followed, but the drunk individual left shortly after, only to return with around 15 men, some reportedly under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
The group surrounded Kaustubh, verbally abused him, and then began beating him. One man smashed an empty beer bottle on Kaustubh’s head during the attack, as reported. Bleeding and injured, Kaustubh tried to fight back, but was overwhelmed by the mob. The attackers fled the scene after the assault.
This disturbing incident has sparked concern among residents, who are urging the Mahatma Phule Police to take swift and strict action. Citizens are demanding that police immediately check CCTV footage from the surrounding area, identify the attackers, and ensure their arrest without delay.
