The below story was from today's edition of the Times of India newspaper and highlights that there are jerks all around the world! Fortunately it was a hoax and nobody was hurt.
PUNE: The Hinjewadi police on Wednesday arrested a 20-year-old youth, Kiran Vinayak Gaikwad of Bhujbal Vasti, Wakad, for allegedly making a hoax call to KPIT Cummins located at Rajiv Gandhi IT Park in Hinjewadi on March 7.
Gaikwad, originally hailing from Latur district, has been arrested under sections 66 (A) (B) and (C) of the Information and Technology Act and sections 182 and 403 of the Indian Penal Code.
The investigations have revealed that Gaikwad, son of a laundry owner, worked as a private security guard in KPIT Cummins for a short period of three to four days. He was, however, removed by the security agency which had hired him. The suspect made the hoax call to trouble the officials of the security agency, said senior police inspector Ganpat Madgulkar of the Hinjewadi police station.
Madgular said that on March 7 around 7.45 am, security supervisor Machhindra Ram Shinde of KPIT Cummins received a call on his cell phone. The caller identified himself as 'Rasal' from the Hinjewadi police station. He said that a bomb had been planted in the company and that he would be reaching the spot along with his staff. "Shinde then informed senior company officials, who later informed us," Madgulkar said.
He said that the bomb detection and disposal squad (BDDS), dog squad and around 30 policemen reached the company. There were around 4,000 employees working in the company. "We evacuated the entire building and searched for almost four hours. But, nothing suspicious was found. We declared that the call was a hoax and allowed the employees inside the building," Madgulkar said.
The security supervisor gave the cell phone number to the police from where he had received the call. During investigations the police found that the number belonged to Anna Sutar of Indapur. "We sent our team to Indapur and found that Sutar was staying at Wakad. We managed to trace Sutar on Monday," Madgulkar said.
On being questioned Sutar told the police that he had lost his cell phone. "He had not filed any complaint nor contacted the company to deactivate the SIM. He, however, suspected that he had forgotten the cell phone in the clothes, which he had given to Gaikwad's laundry around a year back," Madgulkar said.
The police then traced Gaikwad from Bhumkar Vasti. During sustained interrogation Gaikwad agreed to his involvement in the act. "We have received eight SIM cards from Gaikwad," Madgulkar said, adding, "Gaikwad is alleging that the security agency, which had hired him did not pay him for the days he had worked at KPIT."
Sachin Tikekar, Chief of People Operations, KPIT said in an official statement, "We sincerely appreciate the speed with which the Pune police and authorities acted in nabbing the offender. This has once again strengthened our faith in the law enforcement agencies, and I believe this will act as a deterrent to any miscreant attempting to disrupt normalcy."
