ED Conducts Raids in Money Laundering Probe Linked to 2022 Coimbatore Bomb Blast
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted coordinated raids at 16 locations across Chennai, Coimbatore, Hyderabad, and Mumbai as part of a money laundering investigation linked to the 2022 Coimbatore suicide bomb blast near Sangameshwarar Temple. The blast, carried out by Jamesha Mubeen and others, was described as an ISIS-inspired attack using a modified car bomb. The ED alleges terror funding was sourced through a fake COVID-19 vaccine certificate scam and fraudulent donations to Kovai Arabic College, which reportedly radicalized youths under the mentorship of promoter Jameel Basha.
