    Chennai (The Hawk): Following the public revelation of the terrorist connections in the Coimbatore automobile blast, Coimbatore Police have started a door-to-door survey of the city's people.

    The Tamil Nadu police seized various damning documents, including some endorsing the ISIS ideology, during a raid on the deceased Jameesha Mubin's home.

    The police have previously requested information on identification documentation, family information, cellphone numbers, a permanent residence, a prior address, and the type of work from building owners.

    The Coimbatore police are now compiling a database of the city's inhabitants. The police have already informed the property owners that they must provide the tenant's information to the police as soon as they occupy a building. When the tenant vacates the property, the owners must also notify the police.

    Notably, the deceased Mubin spent the previous month living on the first floor of a residence on H.M.P.R. street in Kottaimedu close to the Sangameswar temple.

    Mubin was listed as number 89 on a list of 96 people who need police surveillance in an intelligence report. Mubin's residence was originally on Vincent Road, but after a month he moved to H.M.P.R Street.

    This has also prompted the Coimbatore police to launch a door-to-door investigation and inform building owners to submit information about their tenants at the neighbourhood police station.
