Chennai, Oct 24: Tamil Nadu police are on high alert after a 25-year-old youth was killed in a car explosion at Ukkadam.
Jameesh Mubin was killed in the explosion triggered by a gas cylinder burst in front of the Kottai Easwaran temple at Ukkadam on Saturday. The body was charred beyond recognition and police had to resort to other methods to identify him.
After identifying the deceased as Jameesh Mubin, the Coimbatore police conducted a search at his residence and found a huge stock of explosives. The police also claimed that the NIA had interrogated the youth for his involvement with ISIS and other Islamic organisations.
The police, however, refused to comment whether Mubin was trying to trigger a deliberate explosion as marbles and nails were found scattered at the accident site. (IANS)
