NIA to probe Hyderabad twin blast case

Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh government on Monday decided to hand over the investigation of February 21 twin blasts at Dilsukhnagar to NIA.
The decision to hand over the probe to the National Investigation Agency was taken at a review meeting chaired by Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, state’s Home Minister P Sabita Reddy told reporters.

Maqbool and Khan were claimed to have recede several places in Hyderabad including the crowded Dilsukhnagar, allegedly under instructions from IM founder Riyaz Bhatkal. State government sources said the Chief Minister reviewed the progress of the investigation at a high-level meeting and decided to handover the investigation to NIA as it had “wider reach and expertise”.

Two powerful Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) packed in aluminum containers with ammonium nitrate and shrapnels had exploded near Konark and Venkatadiri theatres in Dilsukhnagar on the evening of February 21 and involvement of IM was suspected as the group had carried out similar strikes elsewhere in the country in the past.
