It is learnt that the union government has taken serious view of the failure of the state police in preventing the Dilsukhnagar blasts, despite an advance alerts by the central intelligence agencies.
Reports suggest that the union home ministry is considering the callousness seriously, as it not only resulted in the loss of 17 innocent lives, but also gave the terrorists feel that they gained an upper hand in the vicious game they have been playing against India.
The loss of 17 innocent lives due to the failure of men in uniform is also viewed by the union government as a serious lapse. This is the reason why the state chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy was advised to handover the case to the National Investigation Agency, say sources.
Initially, the state police was unwilling to give the total investigation to the NIA. Top police officers said even if NIA was entrusted the investigation, they would also continue their own parallel probe and maintained that there was nothing wrong in both the agencies continuing their investigations in their own way.
But the union government felt that the case should be entrusted to the NIA and all the evidences should be handed over to it. The union government also advised the state chief minister to go for a total revamp of the police system. Kiran Kumar Reddy accordingly called a top level meeting with his home minister Sabita Indra Reddy, DGP Dinesh Reddy and the chiefs of Intelligence and other wings and formally told them to handover all the evidence they had so far gathered to the NIA which is investigating the case in a larger arena.
He also told them to give every support the federal agency might require in its investigation.
It is learnt that the chief minister has also decided to implement the other suggestion of the union government to revamp the police department. It is learnt that the government might transfer the city police commissioner Anurag Sharma and Cyberabad commissioner Dwaraka Tirumala Rao, though both the officers have good credentials.
Likewise, some DCPs and ACPs also may face the axe say sources.
Meanwhile, the NIA fanned out its operatives to different corners of the country and intensely investigating into the Dilsukhnagar blasts that rattled the country.
