The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed its first charge sheet regarding a 2019 bombing outside a temple in Tamil Nadu's Coimbatore, stating that the blast was planned by self-inspired Islamic State (IS) operative Jameesha Mubeen. Mubeen attended conspiracy meetings in the interior forests of the state's Erode district and was inspired by the mastermind of the April 21, 2019 bombings in Sri Lanka, Maulvi Zahran bin Hashim. The NIA has named six people who helped Mubeen prepare for the attack. The agency has arrested at least 175 people in close to 40 cases of terror attacks, conspiracy, and funding inspired by the IS ideology in India.
