As a lesser-known terror outfit claimed responsibility for the "attack" on a bus carrying pilgrims of Mata Vaishno Devi on May 13, teams of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Intelligence Bureau (IB) visited the site and inspected the ill-fated vehicle that was gutted in a mysterious fire.

Four persons were killed and 24 others injured when the moving bus, mostly ferrying devotees, caught fire near Nomai, about three kilometers from Katra, shortly after leaving for Jammu from the base camp on Friday evening.
