Nope.
(don't know all the technicalities but this is what i think) NIA don't need permission when there is a TERRORIST attack, but there was no TERRORIST attack in the case, it was just PLANNING. NIA still needs permission from state govt. but center can still INVOKE a clause but then again aren't there people who will start accusing Modi of being a dictator if that clause is INVOKED??
(5) Notwithstanding anything contained in this section, if the Central Government is of the opinion that
a Scheduled Offence has been committed which is required to be investigated under this Act, it may, suo
motu, direct the Agency to investigate the said offence.(NIA act,2008)
No mate. Depending upon the gravity of the situation, the center can start an investigation of its own. Its a terrorist group working on Indian soil with International agenda. Unfortunately it has not been taken seriously yet, especially when the State is not apt to make proper inquiry in these cases.
