The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday took into custody the two accused arrested by the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) in connection with the Mansukh Hiran murder case, an official said. The NIA took the custody of the duo- suspended policeman Vinayak Shinde and cricket bookie Naresh Gaur- in the evening, he said.

"A team of seven to eight NIA officials reached the ATS office here and took the accused duo into the custody," the official said. The ATS had arrested Shinde and Gaur last week.
