Ahmedabad, Jul 09: A team of the National Investigation Agency arrived in Modasa town of Sabarkantha district to investigate into the 2008 blast that killed one person and injured 10 others, police said today.

“The NIA team came to Modasa yesterday and started investigating into the Modasa blast case of 2008,” Sabarkantha Superintendent of Police R B Bhrambhatt told PTI.

“They are doing preliminary investigation into the case,” he said, adding that the NIA team has not contacted them yet.

After the NIA found links between Modasa blast and some of the cases it was investigating, the Union government had ordered that case be handed over to the probe agency.
