The Coimbatore blast is the result of “fault by both central agencies and Tamil Nadu Police,” K Annamalai
Prior to the Coimbatore bombing, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had alerted both federal and state authorities about an expected terror strike in Tamil Nadu, but they had disregarded their warning. K Annamalai, the head of the TN BJP, complained in a letter to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) last month, about an increase in violent crimes after the Popular Front of India crackdown (PFI).
Bhavtosh Singh of Times Now gained access to the letter in which Annamalai informed the Home Ministry of the frequent attacks on BJP offices, worker residences, and public properties. The letter was issued in light of the Center’s campaign of repression against PFI employees and its top management.
The Tamil Nadu BJP chairman provided details of the attacks, stating that the first attack occurred on September 9 in Cuddalore while another petrol bomb attack occurred on a BJP office in Coimbatore on September 22.
There were numerous attacks on September 23 in Tamil Nadu. In Ramanathapuram, two cars were set on fire; in Coimbatore, car windows were destroyed; in Tambaram, a compound and its gate were damaged; and in Pollachi district, four occurrences were reported, according to the letter.
Additionally, according to Annamalai, on September 24. a car exploded in Erode, home windows and car windows were shattered in Tirupur, a residence’s gates were damaged in Erode, and a car and five motorbikes were set on fire in Dindigul.
The letter from the head of the TN BJP listed a total of 19 occurrences, five of which happened in Coimbatore only. The Coimbatore blast is the result of “fault by both central agencies and Tamil Nadu Police,” he claimed.
CM MK Stalin called for a high-level meeting
In the meantime, MK Stalin, the chief minister of Tamil Nadu, called a high-level meeting of government representatives today in response to the Coimbatore car blast incident that took the life of 25-year-old Jameesha Mubin and resulted in the arrest of five of his associates under UAPA.
The meeting was attended by the chief secretary of Tamil Nadu, V. Irai Anbu, the home secretary, K. Phanindra Reddy, the director general of police, C. Sylendrababu, the additional director general of police (intelligence), S. Davidson Devasirvatham, as well as other top officers.
Following the Coimbatore car explosion on Sunday morning, the police raided Mubin’s home and discovered ingredients like potassium nitrate, sulphur, etc. that may be used to make domestic bombs.
Information about the accused in the car blast
Further information has come to light on the arrested suspect in the Coimbatore blast case. The UAE will deport Firoz Ismail (27), suspected of supporting ISIS, in 2020. Ismail is among the five people visible in the CCTV film loading explosive-filled gas cylinders and drums into Mubin’s vehicle.
Thalia is the son of Nawab Khan, a member of the outlawed group Al-Umma, who arranged for Mubin to utilize the Maruti 800 automobile that was used in the explosion. In the Coimbatore serial bomb bombing case, Khan is also a defendant.
Examining Mubin’s electronic devices revealed that he looked up how to construct bombs on the Internet. Police believe Mubin and the five accused people who were apprehended are ISIS supporters and worked as a module.
