Gauhati HC orders SIT probe into 2010 fake encounter case

The Gauhati High Court has ordered a Special Investigation Team probe into a 2010 fake encounter case, in which three Manipuri men were allegedly killed by officers of a Nagaland-based Army intelligence unit. Hearing a petition by the brother of one of the deceased, the court called the earlier probe by the Nagaland police "extremely shoddy and perfunctory".
