Event Summary

The India — Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted searches at 16 locations across India — Tamil Nadu, India — Maharashtra, and India — Telangana in connection with a money laundering investigation into the 2022 India — Coimbatore car bomb blast. The attack, carried out by suicide bomber Jamesha Mubeen, was an ISIS-inspired terrorist act using a modified Maruti car loaded with explosives. The ED alleges that the accused funded their activities through a fake COVID-19 vaccine certificate scam and fraudulent investments in Kovai Arabic College, which was used to radicalize youths. The India — National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed multiple chargesheets, naming 17 accused including Sheikh Hidayathullah, Umar, Pavas Rahman, Sharan Mariappan, and Abu Hanifa. The investigation revealed that 12 accused attended sessions at Kovai Arabic College, mentored by Jameel Basha, and were indoctrinated in Salafi-Jihadi ideology.
