The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday informed the Keral High Court that it would not like to take up the case related to the attack on T. J. Joseph, Professor of Malayalam at Newman College in Thodupuzha, whose right palm was chopped off by the assailants on July 4.
The counsel for the agency made this clear while responding to a public interest litigation demanding that the NIA should take up the investigation of the case. It was pointed out that the case would not come under the purview of the agency, as the police had not included terrorism and anti-national activity charges against the accused.
