Koregaon Bhima case goes to NIA

The sensitive and controversial Elgar Parishad-Koregaon Bhima case has finally been given to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).

After initial reluctance, the Maharashtra government has cited no objection to the transfer of the case from Pune police to NIA.

On Friday, a special court in Pune allowed the transfer of the case to a Mumbai-based NIA court.
