While condemning the Coimbatore car blast, Federation general secretary Haji M A Inayatullah said that no one to date could break the unity between Hindus and Muslims in the city.
Basha was then sentenced to life imprisonment under Section 120-B (conspiracy) of the IPC read with additional IPC offences, including murder. Now his nephew identified as Mohammad Thalka has been arrested for his involvement in the recent car blasts that happened in the city on October 22.
Notably, Ukkadam is considered to be a sensitive area and has a Muslim-majority population. The blast on Sunday took place outside the famous 'Kottai Eshwaran Temple'.
