Unrequited love leads to bomb threat vendetta
Rene Joshilda, a senior consultant at Deloitte in Chennai, was arrested for sending fake bomb threat emails to locations across 12 Indian states—including stadiums, schools, and a medical college.
Police say her motive was revenge after her ex-boyfriend married someone else earlier this year.
Joshilda used fake email IDs in ex's name
Joshilda, who has a background in robotics engineering, tried to cover her tracks by using fake email accounts in her ex's name, VPNs, virtual numbers, and even the dark web.
The investigation kicked off after a school in Gujarat got one of her emails on June 3.
Despite all the digital tricks, a technical slip led police to her Chennai home where they found solid evidence linking her to the threats.
This case shows how cybercrimes are getting more complex—and why digital footprints still matter.
