In a joint operation by the city and Tamil Nadu police, two more persons were arrested in Coimbatore in connection with the April 17 blast near BJP office here that left 16 persons injured, police said.
With this, six persons have been arrested in the case so far, City Police Commissioner Raghavendra Auradkar told reporters here.
"The two suspects, Valyal Hakeem and Asghar Ali were already in custody of Coimbatore police for alleged possession of explosives.
