An ongoing investigation by local Police, NIA and ATS squads
Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) is investigating the case said the ATS senior officer. They are investigating to see if this case has a connection with terrorism. The same case is being investigated by the local Police, National Investigation Agency (NIA) and ATS. (Why three agencies for one murder case ? Doesn`t Government trust one investigation agency ? Wouldn`t it be worth the time of these agencies to keep one investigation agency for the case and let the rest of the investigation agencies work on other cases? – Editor)
