Chief Minister MK Stalin today recommended the National Investigation Agency (NIA) take up inquiries into Sunday’s Coimbatore car blast. Reports said that the decision was taken at a high-level meeting chaired by Stalin earlier in the day. Tamil Nadu Police had earlier invoked the stringent Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) as they arrested five men – associates of Jameesha Mubin, who was charred to death while driving a Maruti 800 in which an LPG cylinder exploded near a temple under suspicious circumstances.
