Basha's brother was planning a series of explosions.The police have also sent notices to major online stores as the accused have given statements that the chemicals, including potassium nitrate, sulphur, and other materials, were bought through online sites. Police said that while there was a huge cache of these raw materials that can be used to make country-bombs, the purchase was made in small quantities.The police have found evidence of the arrested accomplices of Jameesha Mubin having contacts with the IS operatives.According to the Coimbatore Police, who have conducted the preliminary inquiry, the arrested Mohammed Azharudhin, Mohammed Thalka, Firoze Ismail, Mohammed Riyaz and Mohammed Nawas Ismail were all attracted to the IS ideology and have drawn inspiration from the dreaded terror organisation.

Blasts took place in 12 places in 11 areas of the city, primarily aimed at then Deputy Prime Minister of the country, L.K. Advani. The blasts conceptualised and executed by the dreaded Islamist organisation, Al- Umma left 58 persons dead and 200 injured severely.What makes matters worse is that one of the accused in the October 23 car blast case, Mohammed Thalha, is the son of Nawab Khan, brother of S.A.
