Likewise, district administration and police agencies have been warned of consequences if they are found abetting the entry of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants in the area. Tension prevails after a mob lynched a person on charges of rape, in Dimapur on March 5. Section 144 CrPC continues to be in force in the commercial center of Nagaland. Major commercial establishments remain shut.

Further, no events of any nature associated with the case, including “any movement or event related to legal or illegal migrants organized in Kohima town and adjoining areas of northern Angamis” would be permitted unless the Angami apex organizations approve.
The NAYO has warned “any individual and all unmandated organizations present and functioning under its traditional jurisdiction of swift exemplary customary response if their write ups in the print media and social networking sites are found to have caused any law and order situation or confusion in areas that come under northern Angamis”.
The NAYO’s statement stated that “any movement or event related to legal or illegal migrants organized in Kohima town and adjoining areas of northern Angamis without informing either NAYO, its affiliated unit KVYO and most importantly its apex frontal body AYO will invite consequences.”
Caution to district administration, police
Likewise, the organization has also warned the district administration and the police that there would be consequences if they are found ‘showing leniency to ‘illegal Bangladeshi immigrants or migrants’ who have invalid documents.
The Angami organization cautioned “all uniformed personnel and those in the administration that showing any leniency to IBIs or migrants holding suspicious and invalid documents will invite swift action for which the departments will be held responsible.”
