Heartbreak Gone Haywire: Chennai Techie Stages Fake Plane Crash Plot for Love and Revenge
There are times when life is stranger than fiction. That is
just what Indians thought when it was reported that A teenage Chennai techie
had concocted a confession to plotting a plane crash. And why? A bizarre love
affair combined with revenge.
The Beginning of the Drama
The techie, whose identity has been kept secret for privacy
concerns, is an IT professional working in Chennai. On the surface, he was just
like every other working professional — educated, articulate, and leading a
normal life. But little did anyone know that he was grief-stricken about issues
in his love life.
Apparently, he had been in a relationship that ended on a
bitter note. Consumed by feelings of heartbreak, jealousy, and anger, he
decided to pull off an amazing stunt. Instead of moving on, he planned
something no one would expect.
A Shocking Email
Airport officials and police recently got one such anonymous
mail. The person who sent it said he was going to hijack an aircraft. He
specifically mentioned flight numbers and the details sounded alarmingly
authentic.
Since such a threat to aviation cannot be taken lightly, the
police, airport security, and intelligence agencies immediately went into
action. Flights were screened, passengers were questioned, and security was
proved.
The government was in crazed, staring for who had sent the mail and if it was a real threat. Investigation Unfolds
Cybercrime sleuths began to track the mail. They went after
digital clues and employed state-of-the-art technology to pinpoint the sender.
To everyone's astonishment, the trail ended in this adept at technology child
in Chennai.
When police came to his house, they were surprised to learn
the truth. The confession of planning to crash a plane was not real. There was
no real plot to kill anyone or crash a plane.
So why did he do it? His confession left everyone
speechless.
The Real Motive — Love and Revenge
During interrogation, the techie admitted he had sent the
spurious email to ensnare his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend. In his
imagination, if the police traced the email to the new boyfriend, he would be
in a bad way, maybe even a prison. It was an act of revenge born out of
jealousy and heartbreak.
He believed that the mess would cause issues between his ex
and her new boyfriend, potentially driving them to split up. In his warped
mind, he hoped it would ultimately bring him back his ex-girlfriend or, at
least, destroy her new relationship.
Things didn't quite go that way for him.
Legal Trouble
Though no aircraft ever came under threat, this was not a
harmless joke. Threatening a fake plane crash or act of terrorism is a criminal
offense under Indian law. Teenagers' computer programmer now stands in legal
jeopardy, facing charges including the creation of public panic, government
resource wastage, and trying to set people up.
Officials have later warned the public that the actions have
far-reaching implications, not just for the person who threatens to do so but
for thousands of others who can be impacted by flight disruption and fear.
Lessons to Learn
This bizarre incident reminds us of how heartbreak and
emotional distress sometimes compel people to do absurd and even illegal
things. It subsequently illustrates how technology aids law enforcement in
cracking such problems quickly possible is possible.
Although films may show exciting revenge scheming, in real
life, such stunts when result in nothing but time in the slammer, tarnished
reputations, and a world of regrets.
As odd since it may sound, the Chennai techie's confession
of a fake plane crash will be one of India's most strange examples of how love
and vengeance can go horribly wrong.
