Five men have been arrested for their alleged role in car explosion outside a temple in Coimbatore on Sunday in which a person was charred to death.
Jameesha Mubin was killed when one of the two cylinders he was carrying in a car exploded near a temple in Ukkadam area early on Sunday. The police investigation suspects a terror link after huge quantities of explosives were found at his house.
Investigators claim Jameesha Mubin was helped by his three friends - Nawaz Ismail, Firoz Ismail and Mohamed Riaz - to load the cylinders and low-intensity explosive materials into the car despite knowing about his plans.
Another suspect Mohamed Azharudin, police say, was involved in coordination while another man Thalka, a scrap dealer, had given an old Maruti car free of cost for the operation.
