Four days after the Maharashtra anti-terrorism squad (ATS) arrested two people from Mumbai for allegedly possessing 7.1kg of uranium worth ₹21.3 crore, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) took over the probe into the case on Sunday, an NIA spokesperson said. “In the presence of an order of the ministry of home affairs, the agency has re-registered the case which was earlier registered by the ATS at the Kalachowki unit in Mumbai under section 24 (1) (a) of the Atomic Energy Act,” the agency spokesperson said.
