NEW DELHI, June 17 : The Centre has handed over the probe into the June 9 attack on a bus carrying pilgrims in Reasi to the National Investigation Agency (NIA), people familiar with the development said on Monday.
The decision, officials said, was taken during a high-level meeting chaired by Union home minister Amit Shah on Sunday, in which he directed the army, paramilitary forces and intelligence agencies to “replicate the successes achieved in Kashmir valley against terrorism” in the Jammu region.
The federal agency is learnt to have registered its own first information report (FIR) after taking over probe from Jammu and Kashmir police.
Officials said the NIA will look into a larger conspiracy in the attack, with its possible link to three other subsequent attacks last Tuesday and Wednesday in Kathua and Doda.
J&K police is learnt to have interrogated several people in last one week including those who may have supported the terrorists.
