A special investigation team (SIT) of the Nagaland government Thursday interrogated the personnel of Indian Army's 21 Para Special Forces in connection with the killing of 14 civilians in Mon district in firing by security forces.
According to a report by news agency PTI, the 22-member SIT interrogated the Indian Army personnel at the Rain Forest Research Institute (RFRI) in Jorhat district of Assam.
The PTI report quoted sources as saying that the interrogation by the SIT, which is headed by Nagaland Police Additional DGP (Law and Order) Sandeep M Tamgadge, continued till late evening of Thursday and will resume again on Friday morning.
The Nagaland government had on Wednesday expanded the five-member probe team to a 22-member one and divided it into seven small groups.
Officials said the government wants to complete the probe into the violence as soon as possible for quick justice.
On December 4, six coal miners returning from work were killed in a botched anti-terrorist operation by the security forces at Oting village, while seven others were gunned down when angry villagers scuffled with them after discovering the bullet-riddled bodies of the labourers on an Army truck.
One security personnel was also killed in the melee. Another civilian was killed when a mob attacked an Assam Rifles camp at Mon town the next day.

Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio on Sunday said that the Centre has decided to institute a five-member committee to look into withdrawal of Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958 or AFSPA from the northeastern state.
The committee will be headed by Ministry of Home Affairs additional secretary (Northeast), and will include the chief secretary and director general of police of Nagaland, besides inspector general of Assam Rifles (North) and a representative of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF).
The panel will submit its recommendations within 45 days, based on which the decision on whether to continue designating Nagaland as a "disturbed area" or withdrawing AFSPA from the state will be taken, a joint statement issued by the chief minister said.
Disciplinary action is also likely to be taken against the Army personnel, who were directly involved in the botched-up counter-insurgency operation in Nagaland's Mon district in early December, after a fair inquiry. The Army personnel may be placed under suspension pending the probe, the statement said.
Fourteen civilians were killed by security forces in firing incidents in Mon district earlier this month, giving strength to demands in Nagaland to withdraw AFSPA from the northeastern state.

Irom Sharmila, the woman who was on a 16-year hunger strike against the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), feels the recent killing of civilians in firing by security forces in Nagaland proves it is high time that the controversial security law is repealed from the northeast.
In an interview to PTI, Sharmila said the AFSPA is not only an oppressive regulation but it tantamounts to gross violation of the basic human rights. 
Nagaland killings should be an eye-opener, human lives are not so cheap, she said. 
At least 14 civilians and a soldier were killed in a botched anti-insurgency operation and retaliatory violence on December 4 and the following day in Nagaland's Mon district.
The AFSPA empowers security forces to conduct operations anywhere and arrest anyone without prior warrant.
In the northeast, it is in force in Assam, Nagaland, Manipur (excluding Imphal Municipal Council Area) and some districts of Arunachal Pradesh, bordering Assam. 
“For how long will the people of the region suffer because of it? In the name of battling insurgency, you can't take away people's basic rights. There are other ways to tackle it," Sharmila, who ended her marathon hunger strike in 2016, told PTI in a telephonic interview.
"After the passing of the Act in 1958 and subsequent implementation in the northeast, did it achieve the desired purpose? If not, what is the use of thrusting it on the masses? It's high time the Centre and state governments sit together and take a relook at AFSPA," she said.
Critics maintain that the AFSPA has failed to control insurgency despite giving armed forces powers to act with impunity, sometimes leading to human rights violations.
Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio and Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma have also demanded that the law be repealed.
Asked if its withdrawal from the northeast would worsen the law and order situation in the area, Sharmila replied in the negative.
"There are other ways to tackle insurgency. In Chhattisgarh, there have been several Maoist incidents; so did the government impose AFSPA there? The answer is no. The security forces are tackling it in that state, and they have been successful. The same can be done in the northeast," she said.
Claiming that people from the northeast have to face discriminatory treatment in other parts of the country, Sharmila, who unsuccessfully contested the 2017 Manipur assembly elections, said the "rampant violation of human rights in the name of AFSPA stems from that discrimination".
"We are harassed and humiliated… You have to change your mindset and treat the people of this part of India as your own," she said.
The ‘Iron lady of Manipur’ also said she has realised that her lengthy hunger strike did not achieve its purpose. "All my life, I believed in the Gandhian principles of non-violence. My fast was a non-violent way of registering my protest and press for the people's demand. But after 16 years, when I ended my hunger strike, a lot of people misunderstood me. It failed to accomplish any purpose," she said.
Sharmila said she has nothing against the armed forces, but politics and political parties have failed the people of the Northeast.

A week after 14 civilians were killed in Nagaland's Mon in army firing, locals held a protest against Home Minister Amit Shah and the armed forces, and burnt their effigies. 
Angry with the Home Minister's statement in Parliament on the incident, locals called it 'false and fabricated' and demanded an apology. 
The minister had said that the vehicle the killed locals were travelling in did not stop when asked to and that is when the Assam Rifles personnel opened fire. He had added that it was later found to be a case of mistaken identity. 
Six daily wage labourers were killed on the night of December 4 when forces opened fire on them during an anti-insurgency operations. Others were killed in the protests that followed the incident.
