On November 03, 2011 Times of India reported that a day after two persons were nabbed for planting a pipe bomb under a bridge on senior BJP leader L K Advani’s Jan Chetna Yatra route near Madurai, the special investigating team (SIT) on Wednesday detained three more persons in connection with the case. SIT sources said the trio had been held based on the confessions of Abdhullah and Ismath, the two men who were arrested on Tuesday. They have picked up three more persons from the city, including Kodi Veeranan, a fruit agent from Nelpettai. Police sources said they tracked more than 3,000 calls from the mobile towers in Thirumangalam and the surrounding areas and found that at least 20 persons had crossed the Alampatti lower bridge under which the pipe bomb was planted between 3am and 5am on October 28.
