The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is yet to formally take over the probe into the killing of a chemist in Maharashtra's Amravati, a top police official here said on Sunday.
Talking to PTI, Dr Arti Singh, the Commissioner of Police of Amravati city in eastern Maharashtra, said, "We have not yet received any orders about the transfer of the case to the NIA. By Monday, we will receive the orders, after which we would formally hand over the case to the central agency as the procedural formalities take some time."
Her statement comes a day after an NIA team visited Amravati for the probe into the case. On Saturday, the Union Home Ministry spokesperson had tweeted that the investigation has been handed over to the central agency.
