Tamil Nadu: NIA raids 5 locations in Coimbatore as part of IS probe, laptops, mobile phones, pen-drives seized

Laptops, mobile phones, SIM cards, and pen-drives have been seized by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) after it conducted raids at five locations in Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu.

No arrests have been made so far but suspects are likely to be called for questioning.

Thursday's raids are in connection with the earlier raids conducted by the NIA in June this year when it arrested Mohammed Azarudeen, the alleged mastermind of ISIS Tamil Nadu module who was a Facebook friend of Sri Lankan suicide bomber Zahran Hashim.

The raids are part of the ongoing probe in ISIS Sri Lanka case.
