The Centre on Thursday decided to hand over the probe into the October two bomb blast in Burdwan in West Bengal to National Investigation Agency (NIA) after the state government gave in-principle approval to it.
The decision to hand over the case to NIA was taken in view of international ramifications of the case where some nationals from neighbouring country Bangladesh were also allegedly involved in this, official sources said here. A notification was issued under the National Investigation Agency Act and the agency will be registering an FIR on Friday, the sources said.
The Union Home Ministry had receieved reports from central agencies and the state government about the incident in which two suspected militants — Shakil Ahmed and Sovan Mandal — were killed and another man Hasan Saheb was injured in the explosion at a house.
Grenades, chemicals used in making explosives, a book on how to trigger explosion, jihadi literature, a video on jihadi training and a map of important locations in Burdwan district were seized by a CID team from the house.
