The Director General of the National Investigation Agency (NIA), Sharad Kumar, has met with Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi at his official residence here, and reportedly sought further information on possible leads that led to the massacre of civilians by Bodo militants recently in the state's Kokrajhar and Sonitpur Districts.
Kumar was also briefed on the incident by senior state government and police officials, including the chief secretary and the director-general of police among others.
He will visit Kokrajhar and Sonitpur Districts today.
