NIA to probe Burdwan blast
October 10, 2014 00:06
The Centre today decided to hand over to the National Investigation Agency the probe into the bomb blast in Burdwanin West Bengal in which the role of terror groups is suspected, a decision which the Trinamool Congress government said was taken suo motu.
It is perhaps for the first time that the Centre has taken a suo motu decision to hand over a probe into a bomb blast case in any part of the country to the NIA since this premier agency was created in 2008 after the Mumbai terror attack.
The BJP and CPI-M while demanding that the Centre handover the case to NIA has alleged that the Mamata Banerjee government was trying to hush up the matter.
The BJP also accused the state government of "resisting" a NIA probe.
