LUCKNOW: After Kanpur Police failed to trace the killers of retired principal Ramesh Chandra Shukla, the Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) has been handed the case amid revelations that he was killed by members of the Islamic State’s (IS) Khorasan module operating silently through its sleeper cells in the state.
National Investigation Agency (NIA) has said in its chargesheet that Shukla’s killing was just a ‘target practice’ for the IS operatives now in the custody of the national agency for their role in the blast in Ujjain-Bhopal passenger train in March.
