Arrested for sending bomb threat email to police Commissioner from ID created on colleague's name

Prasanna (29) was probably assured that he would land his former colleague Jayasheelan in serious trouble when he dispatched a bomb scare to the commissioner Shankar Bidari from an email id he had created in his name.

Bidari asked Joint Commissioner (crime) Alok Kumar to investigate who had sent the email on July 21 that said 'I will blast Vidhana Soudha'.

Jayasheelan had reportedly delayed a payment that the company owed Prasanna.

In order to settle scores, Prasanna created an email-id in Jayasheelan's name and sent a bomb scare from the id to Bidari.

When the Central Crime Branch traced the email back to Prasanna, he confessed that he had sent the email to get back at Jayasheelan. "He had made my life hell. I wanted Jayasheelan to land behind bars," Prasanna told the police.u00a0

Inspector SK Malateesh of the Central Crime Branch, said, "Three days after JCP Alok Kumar put us on the case we traced Prasanna who was misusing technology to exact revenge. He has been arrested."
