Press Trust of India  |  Coimbatore 

Three persons were arrested today for allegedly trespassing into the camp on the outskirts of the city.

The police said the trio were found moving suspiciously near the shooting range of the camp at Thudiyalur last night when the personnel on duty nabbed them.


The preliminary inquiry into the matter revealed that they hailed from and did petty jobs while staying at a temporary shed near the Thudiyalur railway station.

The trio, all aged 21 years, were identified as Arshad, Banees (both from Malappuram) and Telson Thomas (Kochi), they said.

They told police that they had lost their way while coming down from a hilly area in the night and landed in the camp by mistake.

The personnel handed them over to police which registered a case under section 447 (criminal trespass).

They have been remanded to judicial custody, the police said.
