Bengaluru police grill woman techie linked to hoax bomb mails
BENGALURU: The city police interrogated a 30-year-old woman techie, on body warrant from the Gujarat police, in connection with hoax bomb emails sent to seven schools in the city. G Rene Joshilda, an electrical engineer from Chennai, was taken into custody on body warrant on October 28. The police said the accused has confessed to her involvement in the Kalasipalya case as well as six other hoax bomb threat cases in Bengaluru. The police said she is involved in similar cases in Gujarat, Mysuru, and Chennai. After the three-day custody, the accused was sent back to the Central Prison in Ahmedabad. She was arrested a few months back by the Gujarat police in a similar case. The police are checking if she is wanted in any other cases in the state. The accused was found to have used VPN services to access the internet and obtained virtual mobile numbers through an application called Get Code. Using these, she reportedly operated six to seven WhatsApp accounts. Joshilda was obsessed with her male colleague but he married another woman. In order to take revenge against him, she reportedly used his identity and online credentials to frame him in the bomb threat cases. She reportedly sent the threat emails to schools, stadiums, and hospitals in more than 10 states. Joshilda had previously worked in a software company in the city. On June 14, this year, at around 10.16 pm, a bomb threat message was sent to the official email ID of the school principal in Kalasipalya police station limits. As per the directions of the Bengaluru City Police Commissioner, the case registered at Kalasipalya Police Station, along with other hoax bomb threat cases reported in the city, was transferred to the North Division Cyber Crime Police. The Assistant Commissioner of Police (Cyber Crime, North Division) was appointed as the chief investigating officer, and the Police Inspector (Cyber Crime) as the assistant investigating officer. During the course of probe, the North Division Cyber Crime Police traced the sender of the threatening email to a woman lodged in the Central Prison at Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
An engineering graduate was arrested for sending bomb threat emails to 21 schools across India, including in Bengaluru and Mysuru. The accused, Rene Joshilda, allegedly used her ex-lover's name to implicate him in the crime. She was taken into Bengaluru police custody on a body warrant.

Woman killed by daughter, three minor boys in Bengaluru
BENGALURU: In a horrific incident, a 34-year-old woman was murdered by her daughter and the latters three male friends, all minors, at her house near Circle Maramma Temple in Subramanyapura police limits. The accused made the murder look like suicide by hanging the body from a ceiling fan. All the accused are 16 to 17 years old and are all school dropouts. The deceased, Netravathi, was staying with her 17-year-old daughter on the 6th Main Road in Uttarahalli and was working as a helper at a loan recovery firm. After separating from her husband, she was reportedly in a relationship with another man for the last five years. Netravathis daughter and the main accused were in a relationship. On October 24, they met at a shopping mall and decided to meet again at the girls house the next day. It is said that Netravathi had a habit of drinking alcohol before going to bed. At 9 pm on October 25, her daughters boyfriend, his 13-year-old cousin and two others went to her house when she was fast asleep. Victim found daughter with friends, said will calls cops Around 10.30 pm, Netravathi suddenly woke up to see her daughter with her boyfriend and three other male friends. When she told them that she will call the police, the accused allegedly strangled her to death with a towel. They then hanged the body with her saree from the ceiling fan and escaped, locking the front door from outside. On October 26, the man with whom Netravathi had a relationship went to her house, saw the door was locked and went back. On Monday, Netravathis sister K Anitha, staying at KTM Layout on Mysuru Road, called him to find out about her sister. Both of them went near Netravathis house the same day. At the house, they peeped through the window and saw her hanging from the ceiling. Anitha immediately called the police, who registered an unnatural death case. Initially, it was suspected that Netravathi had died by suicide after coming to know of her daughters relationship. But as the girl was still missing, Anitha called the police on October 29 and told them that her niece was untraceable. The police registered a kidnapping case as she is a minor. Around 1.30 pm on October 30, the girl landed at her grandmothers house in Kaggalipura. She told her relatives that on the night of October 25, while she and her mother were at home, her four male friends had come home. When her mother threatened to call the police, her male friends strangled her mother with a towel, dragged her into another room and hanged her, she told her grandmother. She also claimed that her friends whipped out a knife and threatened her not to tell anyone about the crime. She said she was terrified and was staying at her friends house. But Anitha found out that the girl was staying at the house of her boyfriends relative. Anitha also suspected something amiss in the girls story, and called the police on Thursday night. She told them that the girl and her male friends could be involved in her sisters murder. When the police interrogated the girl, she confessed to the murder.
Horti department digs in to get ASI site tag for Lalbagh, Cubbon
BENGALURU: The state horticulture department is working on a proposal to get archaeologically protected site tag for Lalbagh and Cubbon Park. This comes at a time when the Greater Bengaluru Authority and the Urban Development Department are keen on implementing Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumars pet project, construction of a tunnel road, for which six acres of Lalbagh land will be used. The tunnel road is likely to be drilled below the geologically protected Lalbagh Rock. While Lalbagh rock is geologically protected, the botanical garden is not. It was created by Hyder Ali in 1760s as his personnel garden. Then it was 40 acres. In 1856, 80 acres were added, and later more land was added by HM Marigowda in the 1980s. Kempegowda Tower inside Lalbagh is also declared as a heritage structure, said a senior horticulture department official. We are now undertaking a tree canopy study inside Cubbon Park to increase plantations. We have added plumeria trees of 250 different shades of colours in the 197 acres. With this, Cubbon Park has become the richest plumeria germplasm in south India. We continue to get many proposals for construction and infrastructure works inside Cubbon Park. The archaeological tag will help protect Lalbagh and Cubbon Park for any works, the officials added. Devaraju A, Commissioner, Department of Archaeology, Museums and Heritage, said that Mysuru has declared 129 buildings as heritage and archaeologically protected but Bengaluru has none. Two years back, we proposed to declare 39 buildings as heritage, apart from Lalbagh and Cubbon Park, but nothing moved forward, he said. The Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) has also listed 39 buildings to be protected in the city. The lists included some schools, police stations and government offices. There is a provision under Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act to set up District Heritage Committees to identify and declare sites and buildings as heritage, but such a committee has not been formed in Bengaluru. Earlier the Bangalore Development Authority was to undertake the exercise. It has now been passed onto Greater Bengaluru Authority, said another official with Department of Archaeology.
Political row in Karnataka casts shadow over Wayanads winter tourism season
KALPETTA: The ongoing political row in Karnataka over the state governments tourism promotion campaigns for Wayanad has sparked concern among tourism stakeholders in the hill district. After the devastating landslides, visitors from Karnataka have become the mainstay of Wayanads tourism revival. The Kerala tourism department had also launched several advertisements in Bengaluru to restore traveller confidence and highlight that the district was safe for visitors. However, the recent backlash in Karnataka, led by the BJP and some netizens on social media, has cast a shadow over Wayanads peak winter season, which usually begins in November. Many local tour operators and homestay owners fear that the controversy could dissuade potential tourists, especially from Bengaluru, who account for nearly half of Wayanads domestic visitors. Bookings from Bengaluru are our lifeline after the landslides. Even a slight dip can hit us hard, said Minhaj Khalid, who runs Wander Wayn Holidays, a travel agency in Kalpetta. Stakeholders also worry that misinformation or politically charged campaigns might reinforce unwarranted fears about road conditions or safety, despite most of Wayanads tourist circuits being fully operational. Proximity is the biggest factor attracting visitors from Bengaluru and Mysuru. Especially for techies from Bengaluru -- if they start their journey on Saturday morning, they can reach Wayanad by check-in time, enjoy night camping and sightseeing, and return by Sunday afternoon, Minhaj added. The districts tourism economy, already weakened by the disaster, relies heavily on visitors from Karnataka. Local hoteliers and resort owners are now urging the Kerala tourism department to counter negative narratives and reassure travellers that Wayanad remains a safe and welcoming destination.

Caretaker held for stealing 450g gold from her employer in Bengaluru
BENGALURU: A 59-year-old woman, who was living alone with her female caretaker for the past eight years and had decided to transfer property worth crores to her out of affection, was in for a shock after the caretaker allegedly stole gold and silver ornaments to fund her lavish lifestyle and online gambling. The JP Nagar police recently arrested the accused, identified as Mangala (32) of T Narasipura in Mysuru. The complainant, Asha Jadhav, a resident of JP Nagar 2nd Phase, had hired Mangala around ten years ago to take care of her bedridden mother. Asha had lost her husband years ago and did not have any children. After her mother passed away a few years ago, Mangala continued to live with her. Impressed by Mangalas dedication, Asha treated her like a daughter and decided to transfer property worth crores in her name, and even planned to find her a suitable groom. However, Mangala became addicted to online betting, which pushed her into heavy debt. Asha had helped clear some of her debts earlier, but when she learned that Mangala had continued her habits, a heated argument broke out, and Mangala left the job a month ago. Before leaving, she allegedly stole 450 gram of gold ornaments, 3.8 kg of silver articles, and Rs 1 lakh in cash from a cupboard. On finding the valuables missing, Asha lodged a complaint with JP Nagar police in the second week of October.
