Goa govt may transfer Sanatan case to NIA

The disclosure by those arrested that the Sanatan operatives had planned to use cell-phone triggers to set off the blasts in Goa and the group’s well networked operations in Karnataka, Maharashtra and Gujarat displayed a level of planning and sophistication that needed a wider probe beyond the scope of the state police, highly placed government sources told Deccan Herald.

Chief Minister Digambar Kamat, Home Minister Ravi Naik and director general of police B S Bassi would be meeting soon to review the Goa SIT report and take a decision on handing investigations to the NIA.
