COIMBATORE: The Coimbatore city police have begun a probe to know if the arsonist in Kerala train case had any links in Tamil Nadu. With investigations into the attack by Shahrukh Saifi in Alappuzha-Kannur Executive Express Train at Kozhikode in Kerala on April 2 taking the angle of terror conspiracy, the city police here have begun a probe to find out if he had any links in Coimbatore.
