NIA today took over the probe into last December's IED blast at a busy road in Bengaluru in which a woman was killed.

A case under various sections of Indian Penal Code, Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and Explosives Substances Act has been registered at NIA office in Hyderabad, officials said. The move comes following an order by Union Home Ministry asking National Investigation Agency to probe the case, they said.

Suspected militants had on December 28 wrapped the improvised explosive device in a plastic bag and placed it in a bushy plant outside a famous restaurant in the heart of the city.

The restaurant is close to the fashionable Brigade Road and M G Road, dotted with bars and restaurants with teeming crowd on weekends.
