“A month and a half have passed since the victims were abducted on 13 May and subsequently found dead in a mutilated, beheaded, and dismembered condition on 10th June, 2026. The barbaric nature of the crime shocked the conscience of the Naga people and drew widespread condemnation from civil society, human rights advocates, and concerned citizens. Yet, despite repeated appeals, public representations, and demands for accountability, there has been no visible progress in identifying and prosecuting those perpetrators from local to high political elites and top insurgency, KNP-P,” the press statement read.
The union also stated that it is particularly disturbed that the CoBRA Unit, CRPF, and others continue to facilitate and escort the movement of different sections of the Kuki community through Naga-inhabited areas when the families of the six victims continue to mourn without answers or justice. “For many Nagas, especially the bereaved families and affected communities, these actions are deeply painful and difficult to comprehend,” it remarked.

Further, the Naga Women’s Union questioned the lack of urgency in apprehending the Kuki militants responsible for the ‘most horrific crime committed’, and added that the victim families and the Naga community continue to await justice for the six slain civilians. It also condemned the display of excessive force and high action at the wee hours of 24th June, 2026, at Namdilong, Kanglatongbi against civilians by security agencies, describing it as deeply unfortunate and disturbing. The Government and security forces must exercise utmost restraint and sensitivity in the affected areas. Any untoward incident arising from such actions will be the responsibility of the Governments.
The Naga Women’s Union firmly asserted that the foremost responsibility of the State is to secure justice for the victims by ensuring an impartial and time-bound investigation leading to the prosecution of all perpetrators of the crime. Justice for the six innocent victims must not be overshadowed by any other administrative or political consideration.
