Suspecting complicity of the fugitive Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) undertrials, who had escaped from Khandwa Jail in October 2013, the Union Home Ministry may soon transfer several cases to the National Investigation Agency.
The NIA had sought Ministry approval to take over investigation of some of these cases, including the one related to a blast at Bijnor in Uttar Pradesh last October and another blast at Rourkee in Uttarakhand last December.
The other cases include a bank robbery at Karimnagar in Andhra Pradesh reported in February 2014, in which CCTV footage confirmed the involvement of the five fugitive SIMI suspects.
