The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Thursday handed over the probe in the recent Coimbatore car-explosion case to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
The decision came a day after Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin recommended an investigation by the NIA into the October 23 blast near a temple in which Jameesha Mubin, an engineer, was killed.
“The NIA has been handed over the probe in the Coimbatore blast. The agency will register a fresh FIR,” a senior government official said.
An NIA official said the agency has received the requisite orders and has sent a team to Coimbatore to inspect the scene of crime.
Meanwhile, the State police on Thursday arrested a sixth person, a relative of the suspected mastermind Jameesha Mubin, on various charges including procuring of raw materials used for the explosion.
The accused was identified as Afsar Khan, 28, of Vincent Road.
