The minister said a few results from the forensic lab are awaited and the investigation is in progress.
Shekhar had also asked what were the reasons for the failure of the central intelligence agencies and Delhi Police to identify and arrest the persons with their faces covered with scarves who allegedly raised anti-India slogans at the event.
