New Delhi, Sep 21: The probe into the Tarn Taran blast case has been taken over by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). The blast had left two dead and one injured earlier this month.

An NIA official told OneIndia that the agency took over the probe considering the international nexus involving terrorists from Punjab and Pakistan. The probe was taken over after Punjab's government recommendation to hand over the probe was accepted by the Centre.
