New Delhi: The national investigation agency (NIA) will take over the probe into the terror attack at the Indian Army camp in Jammu and Kashmir’s Nagrota last week.

On Wednesday, in keeping with the instructions issued by the home ministry, the NIA Police Station in Delhi, re-registered the case that had been registered at the Nagrota Police Station, under sections 120B, 121, 307 of the Jammu and Kashmir Ranbir Penal Code (RPC) and sections 7, 27 of the Arms Act, 1958.

“The case at the Nagrota Police Station was registered on the basis of information received at the Police Station Nagrota that on 29 November. Some heavily armed unknown terrorists, on the directions of their foreign handlers, had entered into the Army Camp at Nagrota, near the Baleeni Bridge and started indiscriminate firing on the army personnel with the intention to kill them," an NIA spokesperson said.

The NIA also stated that the actions of the terrorists were scheduled offences under sections 16, 18 and 20 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967. The NIA will also place the FIR before the NIA special court at Jammu.
