தீவிரவாதிகள் கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சமாக வெடிப்பொருட்கள் வாங்கி சேர்த்து, பின் வண்டி வாங்கி, என்று பல விஷயங்கள் நடத்துள்ளது @arivalayam அரசு வந்த பிறகு கோவையில் உள்ள காவல் துறையின் அதிகாரிகள் மொத்தமாக மாற்றியது ஏன்?

Stalin’s formal appreciation, hailing the police force of the western city for quick probe and initiation of preventive measures is significant against the backdrop of BJP Tamil Nadu chief K Annamalai targeting the DMK regime on the explosion case. Governor R N Ravi’s remarks over the matter also led to a furore with the DMK alliance claiming that his views were aimed at pleasing the Saffron party.
On October 23, explosives were seized from the residence of Jameesha Mubin who was killed after a gas cylinder exploded in a car he travelled in. He is suspected to be a key player in a conspiracy. Six men, his associates, were arrested. The case, initially probed by the Tamil Nadu police was handed over to the National Investigation Agency.
State police intelligence wing utterly failed: Narayan Thirupathy
Meanwhile, talking to reporters in Chennai on Monday, Narayan Thirupathy, BJP’s State Vice President and Media In charge endorsed the allegations of party’s State Chief K Annamalai in Coimbatore blast case.
Narayan Thirupathy said that though the state police released the list of 96 probable ISIS sympethisers during the third week of July and later on sent an alert warning to all district police units, it has utterly failed to monitor the accused Jameesha Mubin and his activities closely.
