The probe into the bomb threats received at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad has led to the arrest of a software employee from Chennai. Police allege he sent hundreds of threat emails to places across India.
Officers say he told them he was under personal stress and opposed the Tamil Nadu government.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Srikant Goud of Shamshabad said the accused allegedly created fake email accounts and used them to send between 700 and 800 bomb threat messages across the country.
“We have taken into custody a Chennai-based software employee named Sharad Subramanyan in connection with numerous bomb threat cases. Police are recording the accused’s statement as part of the investigation. Police are looking into whether the alleged political grievance and personal distress contributed to the threatening messages.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Srikant Goud of Shamshabad said the accused allegedly created fake email accounts and used them to send between 700 and 800 bomb threat messages across the country.
The accused completed his post-graduation, worked in the US for a few years, and after facing a divorce, fell into a state of depression,” he said. “We have taken him into custody and are recording his confession and regularising all the cases,” the officer said. Goud said several cases linked to the threats were registered at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport police station over the past two years.
