Man faked terror plot to get out of holiday with his girlfriend
A cheating husband tried to get out of a holiday with his girlfriend by sending hoax warnings of a hijack plot.
Motaparthi Vamshi Krishna, 32, of Hyderabad, India, had been having an affair with a woman from Chennai in the south-eastern state of Tamil Nadu.
She had made him agree to take her on holiday to the state of Goa on the western coast but he didn’t want to go.
So he created a new email address and used it to tell airport authorities that he had heard a group of men discussing a hijack plot.
Aiming to disrupt flights into Chennai, Mumbai and Hyderabad, he said he had heard six men talking in a restaurant, planning to hijack flights at those airports.
Airport chiefs took the warning seriously and ordered security officials to be on high alert.
Police traced the origin of the email using Vamshi’s IP address, and arrested him at his home in the Miyapur area of Hyderabad.
He was later found to have a history of cybercrime, and had previously used his skills to convince another woman that he would marry her, though he was already wed at the time.
Vamshi is being prosecuted under section 182 of the Indian penal code, which means giving false information to a public servant with the intent to cause them to use their lawful power to the injury of another person.
Flights are not thought to have been badly disrupted.
Stupidity knows no bounds
