The Centre on Thursday allowed the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to investigate the Kerala gold smuggling case, as the organised smuggling operation may have serious implications for national security. The gold weighing over 30 kg was seized from a piece of baggage, carrying the name of a diplomatic person, that had landed by air cargo at Thiruvananthapuram international airport recently.
