The team from the National Investigation Agency is at the site of the attack at Jagdalpur to begin their probe. Another team from the MHA will head to Chhattisgarh tomorrow to review the governments strategy on tackling Naxals in the wake of the attack that killed 24 people.

The NIA team will find out possible lapses on the part of the central forces or the state government. Action will be taken if anyone is found guilty, Minister of State for Home R.P.N. Singh told reporters today.

"We have asked the NIA to investigate the Maoist attack. Security lapses could have taken place. Any lapse on the part of central forces or the state government, buck will have to be stopped somewhere. We have to take action,' he said.
