NIA is nothing but, National Investigating Agency. They work on the inputs given by Intelligence agencies like RAW. For suppose the Intelligence agency gives information that terrorists are planning an attack in some place of India, the NIA officers find the terrorist and burst the attack. This is how NIA works.
