NIA Takes Over Investigation of Nagaland Chümoukedima IED Blast Case
Nagaland Police are investigating an IED blast in Chümoukedima that killed one Assam Rifles soldier. Samples from the blast site have been sent to the National Security Guard for analysis. While the state government initially proposed transferring the case to the National Investigation Agency (NIA), the Ministry of Home Affairs has now officially directed the NIA to take over the investigation due to the case's gravity and national security implications. The state government will assist in coordinating the handover. Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio condemned the attack and pledged justice.
