Not ruling out a “terror angle” to the LPG cylinder blast onboard a car in which the occupant, a 25-year-old man, was killed in Coimbatore in the early hours of Sunday, the Tamil Nadu Police on Monday began questioning nine people who were in touch with the deceased in the days leading up to the incident.
Jameesha Mubin was killed instantly as an LPG cylinder inside the car he was driving exploded near a temple in Ukkadam in communally-sensitive Coimbatore on Sunday morning.
The police are refusing to rule out terror angle not just because Mubin was one of the five persons to be questioned by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in 2019 in connection with the Easter bombings in Sri Lanka,
