According to sources, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has asked the National inquiry Agency, which is looking into the Delhi bomb case, to submit its inquiry report as soon as possible.

The NIA will formally take over the investigation from the Delhi Police and look into every facet of the case, including potential terror connections and the materials used in the bomb. The Center's intention to guarantee a thorough and well-coordinated investigation into the occurrence is demonstrated by the case's transfer to the NIA.
