NIA was created by Parliament to enable the detection, prevention, investigation and prosecution of terrorism-related incidents in India on a national scale.It is the only exclusive counter-terrorism agency in India.
Our Parliament has mandated that the NIA to be not merely a post-incident investigating agency, but also a pre-incident disruption agency.
NIA was created after the Nov 2008 Mumbai terror attacks as need for a central agency to combat terrorism was realised.
First Director General of NIA: Radha Vinod Raju
