    COIMBATORE: The Coimbatore city police have begun monitoring online purchase of explosive chemicals in the wake of a bomb blast in neighbouring Kerala.

    G Sandeesh, Deputy Commissioner of Police, said to the media that those purchasing explosive chemicals through e-commerce sites are being monitored and action will be initiated against them after an inquiry.

    “A man who triggered a blast in Kerala had reportedly bought explosive chemicals online. Similarly, Jameesha Mubin, who was involved in a car blast in Coimbatore, last year had also bought them through e-commerce sites. The police have already requested online firms not to sell explosive substances,” he said.

    Further, those selling explosive substances after obtaining a license will also be brought under the surveillance radar.

    Meanwhile, the police continued to carry out checks on vehicles entering Coimbatore and the Nilgiris on the interstate border.
