Lok Sabha passes bill to give NIA more teeth, 'finish off terrorism'

Seeking to give more teeth to the National Investigation Agency (NIA), Lok Sabha on Monday passed a bill to allow it to probe terrorist acts against Indians and Indian interests abroad. The amendments will also allow the NIA to probe cybercrimes and cases of human trafficking. The NIA was set up in 2009 after the Mumbai terror attack that had claimed 166 lives.
