Obsessive Love, VPNs, 1 Wrong Login: Woman Techie's Bizarre Bomb Hoax Saga | Read

Truth is stranger than fiction, and reality more bizarre than crime shows. In a tale of spurned love tailormade for an OTT series, a 30-year-old robotics engineer from Chennai set off alarm bells in 11 states by allegedly sending hoax bomb threats. She used fake email IDs with the name of her love interest -- who did not love her back and recently married someone else -- to frame him as revenge for her unrequited affection, police have found.

For months, 30-year-old Rene Joshilda used VPNs and fake email IDs to stay under the radar as police across multiple states hit a wall while investigating the bomb hoaxes. But one mistake gave her away and led the police to her door.
