A PROBE into e-mails threatening blasts at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad and different places in 12 States has unravelled a tale of unrequited love and vengeance allegedly unleashed by a woman executive of an MNC in Chennai to defame a man, leading to her arrest. After the man who she dreamt would be her husband, married another woman, the accused, identified as Rene Joshilda, decided to avenge the ‘rejection’ and used deception to wreak havoc in his life. According to police, she used fake email IDs, virtual private networks (VPNs), and the dark web to hide her identity and location.

 

She was arrested by the Ahmedabad cyber crime from her residence in Chennai on Saturday following an extended technical surveillance, which involved picking the digital trail, an official said on Monday. Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Sharad Singhal on Monday said Joshilda created different email IDs, some of which were in the name of Divij Prabhakar, who she wanted to marry. An engineer trained in Robotics, Joshilda has been working as a senior consultant at a multinational firm in Chennai since 2022. “She has done her engineering from Chennai and a course in Robotics. Currently, she is a senior consultant at Deloitte. She loved Divij Prabhakar and wanted to marry him but it remained one-sided,” Singhal told reporters.
