According to media reports, a special court in Coimbatore, on December 20, convicted eight Al-Ulmma activists including Mohammed Ansari, president of Al Umma, and Sidhique Ali, son of S.A. Basha the outfit’s founder president. They were all accused in the murder of traffic constable Selveraj in November 1997, which triggered communal violence causing the death of 17 persons in Coimbatore. The special public prosecutor contended that the genesis of the serial bomb blasts that ravaged Coimbatore in 1998, lay in Selvaraj’s murder. The Al-Ulmma is an Islamist extremist Organisation that engineered the serial bomb blasts in Coimbatore. At least 33 people––including eight women and a child––died while 153 more were injured in a series of 12 bomb blasts in Coimbatore on February 14, 1998.

According to media reports, four cadres––Mohamad Safi, Asic, Abbas and Abhudhagir––of the outlawed Al-Umma, an Islamist extremist organization, have been awarded the death penalty by a Sessions Court Coimbatore, on December 23. They are the accused in the 1997-murder of police constable Selvaraj. "The accused were aware of the consequences and the consequences were their intentions'', the Judge said, noting "it was the gravest of grave and rarest of rare offences", while awarding the death penalty. The judge also sentenced three more accused in the case––, Siddiq Ali, Aslam alias Tada Aslam and Samsudeen––to rigorous imprisonment for a year for unlawful assembly and life term for murder. The eighth accused, Md.Ansari, was sentenced to life imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 25,000. Selvaraj was stabbed to death at Ukkadam, Coimbatore, on November 29, 1997.
