The Naga Club building in the heart of Kohima was vandalised by unknown people early on Saturday, police said.
      Â
The building housed the office of the Naga Students' Federation (NSF), the apex Naga students바카라™ body in the Northeast, the office of the All Nagaland College Students' Union, the Kohima Press Club, and other commercial establishments.
      Â
Kohima's Additional Superintendent of Police Relo T Aye said that the incident took place around 3 am, adding that an FIR has been lodged by the NSF, and an investigation is being carried out by a four-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) headed by him.
      Â
Various tools, including machetes and other sharp objects, were seized from the spot.
      Â
Police suspected that the accused used earthmovers to damage the semi-concrete structures.
      Â
"Records related to Naga history were stored inside the building and are suspected to have been destroyed," NSF president Kegwayhun Tep told reporters.
      Â
He hoped that the culprits will be brought to book.
      Â
The NSF issued an ultimatum to the government to nab the culprits by 6 pm on Sunday, failing which it will resort to action it deems befitting.
      Â
Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio strongly condemned the incident, tweeting, "Respect for private and public properties is fundamental in a civilized society."
      Â
He appealed to all citizens to maintain peace and harmony.
      Â
Nagaland Tourism Minister Temjen Imna Along expressed shock over the incident and said the identities of the culprits should be revealed after their arrest.
      Â
Several tribal and youth bodies and civil society organisations condemned the act.
      Â
"Naga Club is Naga history, we cannot put a price on what our pioneers achieved and passed down to us," Angami Public Organisation said.
      Â
"NSF stood for the cause of the Nagas courageously. This ruthless attempt in destroying the fabric of the Nagas is most unfortunate," Naga Mothers' Association said.
