HYDERABAD: A day after the arrest of two terror suspects in a joint operation by the counter-intelligence police of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana for their alleged plan to indulge in bomb blasts in Hyderabad, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Monday stepped in to take over the probe, police said.

They were produced before a local court in Vizianagaram on Sunday evening. They were remanded to 14-day judicial custody.
