Mong Loong's husband was killed a few days after their marriage
A group of women sit quietly but seriously outside a hut in a village in the northeastern Indian state of Nagaland.
Inside the hut is a woman crying who was married just ten days ago.
"Who will take care of me now," she says, referring to 25-year-old Monglong, whose husband was one of six people in a group of hookup cognac miners who earlier this month visited a district near Myanmar. Moon was shot dead by Indian security forces.
Authorities returned fire and killed eight more civilians when locals stormed a military base during a protest rally.A soldier was also killed in the clash.
Nagaland has not seen such a violent incident in years, with long-running resistance from local militants.
Indian Home Minister Amit Shah expressed his "deep sorrow" over the incident. But after Amit Shah's statement in parliament, the anger of the locals has increased as he said in his statement that the soldiers had fired at him because he was running away despite the signal to stop.
Indian military officials opened fire on the truck and then opened fire on protesters
Locals allege that army personnel stopped the truck and deliberately killed them.
The Indian military has said the operation was marred by "misidentification" and that the villagers in the truck were militants.
The councils of different villages in Moon district held a big rally last week in which they demanded an apology from Amit Shah for his 'false' allegations. And their anger is unlikely to subside.
The Nagaland Central Committee of Indigenous Peoples has warned that the ongoing protests would escalate further if their demands were not met.
"We want an independent commission to investigate these heinous killings of our boys," Naga Ho Chi Minh told the BBC. The government can no longer test our patience.
The Indian government and army have ordered a separate investigation into the incident.
The law has been blamed for "fake killings" and human rights groups say it is often misused.
The International Organization for Human Rights (IOHR) has called for the abolition of the AFSPA, as well as the chief minister of Nagaland and the neighboring state of Meghalaya.
Even India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, which is part of the Nagaland government as an ally, supports the position.
Hosea Konyak, a senior leader of India's ruling BJP from Moon District, said the job of security officials is to provide security.
We want to tell the Indian Home Minister that the awful law of the AFSPA is a complete failure."
Twelve of the 14 people killed in the incident were from Oting village in Moon district, where Christmas preparations were in full swing when the tragedy struck.
All shops in the area have been closed during the protests and local churches are empty.
There is no sign of the villagers losing their temper after the killings
Among those killed were 25-year-old twin brothers Lang Wang and Thap Wang, both miners. His family members say they just want him to come back somehow.
"My two brothers and I were the financial support of eight people," says his brother, Ninwang. But now they are in their graves, just because of the army. Ninwang lost his eye in a childhood accident.
The residents of this community in Moon District are very close to each other and everyone has a story to tell.
Tangai Konyak,a local businessman, says he travels daily on the same route the miners used to take. But on the day that the incident took place, they decided to take another route because it was getting dark there.
"Around 7 pm, my family called me and asked if I had heard any gunshots. If I had not changed my ways, I would have died.
Peanuts are still in the can after this incident. She waited for hours that night in the hope that her husband would return. When she did not show up, she called her husband and her friend picked up the phone and said that he was taking Hookup Konyak to the hospital.
Ten days after the marriage of Hook Up and Mong Loong, her husband died
I insisted that I talk to him but he could barely speak. And in the next few hours, it's all over. "
Residents of the village are now praying for the recovery of the two injured in the incident, who are still being treated at the hospital.
One of the men, speaking to The Indian Express, said security officials opened fire on him, but did not give a signal to stop.
The federal government has announced Rs 1.6 million as compensation for the families of those killed after the incident, but residents of Oting village have turned it down.
When we were on our way back from this village, light rain started. Meanwhile, a young woman suddenly came to us with a baby in her arms.
Her name was Englemile and she was 29 years old.He told us: "If the army can kill my husband without any reason, they should come here and adopt my child."
As we descended the hill toward our destination, their voices echoed in our ears.
