NIA chief Dinkar Gupta calls on Union Home Minister Amit Shah
New Delhi, July 4
Director General (DG) of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) Dinkar Gupta met Union Home Minister Amit Shah here today for the first time after taking charge of the agency. The meeting lasted for about 35 minutes.
The meeting took place days after the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) directed the NIA to take over the probe into two recent back-to-back “barbaric” killings in Rajasthan’s Udaipur and Maharashtra’s Amravati.
The details of deliberations at the meeting between Gupta, a 1987-batch Punjab cadre IPS officer who took charge as new NIA chief on June 27, and the Home Minister could not be known even as officials claimed it was a “courtesy call” by the NIA DG.
It is believed that Gupta briefed Shah about the progress in the probes relating to two recent killings in Udaipur and Amravati, with the MHA terming them “brutal and barbaric”.
