Jameesha Mubin was among 150 persons on watch list in Coimbatore
The HinduJameesha Mubin, 29, who was killed in the recent car blast in front of a temple in Coimbatore, was among the 150 persons who were on the watch list of intelligence units in the city. The sources said the “intelligence alerts”, as pointed out by leaders like BJP State president K. Annamalai and leading to the police being criticised for not acting proactively and having failed to prevent the blast, were “general alerts” and not specifically related to possible attacks by radicalised elements. An officer said the first alert, circulated on July 19, was issued in the wake of a riot following the death of a Class XII girl at a school in Kallakurichi on July 17. The official said the alert mainly warned of possible violence by political and caste-based organisations to register protest over the student’s death, a possible ripple effect of the July 17 riot.
