Union Minister Pon Radhakrishnan today alleged that it was due to the failure of Tamil Nadu police intelligence wing that a suspected ISIS terrorist was able to reside and run a shop in neighbouring Tiruppur.
Referring to the arrest of Mosiruddin alias Mosialias Manju from a train in West Bengal few days ago, Radhakrishnan said because of the intelligence failure, the suspected terrorist could reside and run a provision shop in Tiruppur.
"The present police intelligence system is too poor in Tamil Nadu and because of such failure, he and his family was able to reside and run a shop in Tiruppur for the past six years and made contacts with ISIS," Radhakrishnan told reporters here.
"So the Tamil Nadu Government should improve the Intelligence system of police and also efforts should be taken to prevent thefts, murders, rape and other anti-social activities", the Union Minister of State for Shipping and Ports said.
Central Intelligence agencies and Tamil Nadu police had taken into custody the wife and some family members of Mosiruddin in Tiruppur district on Wednesday night for questioning.
Radhakrishnan welcomed the Centre's decision to rename the Madras High Court as Chennai High Court.
He also thanked the Prime Minister for approving the proposal to build a major port at Enayam near Colachel in the state.
