CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu chief minister M K Stalin Wednesday recommended an NIA probe into the car explosion in front of a Coimbatore temple on Diwali-eve that killed a suspected IS sympathiser at the wheel, citing the possibility of “national and international ramifications” now that the incident was no longer being looked at as an accidental LPG cylinder blast.
An NIA team got cracking hours before the CM’s move, meeting senior officials of Coimbatore police for a briefing on the findings of the investigation so far that led to the arrest of five young men allegedly linked to IS. A batch of NIA officials had been camping in the city since Monday while another arrived late Tuesday, sources said. They hadn’t visited the blast site till the government’s announcement.
Besides deciding to hand over the blast probe to the NIA, Stalin ordered the formation of a special taskforce to prevent more such incidents.
