A 16-member Assam Police team, guided by Google Maps, mistakenly entered Nagaland's Mokokchung district during a raid, sparking chaos. Mistaken for criminals, the team, mostly in civil dress, was attacked and held captive by locals. One officer sustained injuries. The confusion arose as Google Maps incorrectly showed a tea garden in Assam instead of Nagaland. Upon realization, Nagaland Police intervened, rescuing the team after a night of captivity. Five officers were freed initially, with the remaining 11 released the next morning. The incident highlighted challenges in cross-border operations and reliance on navigation apps.
