After triple blasts, Kerala man arrested under anti-terror law

Dominic Martin, the man who claimed responsibility for multiple serial blasts at a convention centre in Kerala's Ernakulam district, has been arrested.

He was arrested on Monday, under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, the Explosives Act and charges of murder. The development came a day after Martin claimed to have planted the bombs at the convention



centre and surrendered to police in the Thrissur district.

Before his surrender, Martin had released a video on Facebook, explaining why he executed the serial blasts at the Christian sect.

In the video, he claimed he was associated with Jehovah's Witnesses, a minority Christian group, years ago, but did not agree with its teachings anymore.
