NIA to investigate Red Fort car blast case

NIA was formed in the aftermath of 26/11 Mumbai terror attack.
The instruction to the probe agency came after Shah presided over two back-to-back high-level security review meetings on Tuesday.
"The home minister has decided to hand over the investigation of the blast to the NIA. He has instructed the agency to investigate the case and submit a report at the earliest," a ministry official told PTI.
