Police have recovered 50 kg of ammonium nitrate, potassium, sodium, fuse wire and 7-volt batteries from the residence of Jamesha Mubin (who died in the accident). Police have not disclosed this till now.""On October 21, Jamesha Mubin posted a WhatsApp status similar to that of ISIS," Annamalai said."Police haven't said why they have arrested 5 people. On behalf of TN BJP, we've written a letter to Union Home Minister regarding this blast. Police have to accept this as a 'suicide attack'," the Tamil Nadu state BJP leader said.Coimbatore City Police late on Monday night arrested five men after a man was burnt to death when the car he was in a gas cylinder fitted inside the car exploded at Ukkadam, near the famed Sangameshwarar temple in the city on Sunday morning.The accused, identified as Mohammed Dhalha, Mohammed Azarudeen, Mohammed Riyas, Feroz Ismail, and Mohammed Navaz Ismail have been remanded to police custody.The body of the deceased recovered from the blast site has been identified as 25-year-old Jamesha Mubin.Tamil Nadu BJP leader alleged that Chief Minister MK Stalin should focus more on law and order to save Tamil people from violence and terrorist activities."Now people from a specific religion are part of Tamil Nadu Intelligence. This is a total intelligence failure.
