The man, Dolaji Pandariwad, claimed he had dialled ‘1930’ – a national helpline number to report cyber crime – because he was nursing a grudge against the local unit of the cyber crime police.
The police, however said, they have not bought his claim and are interrogating him to know if there’s more to his action than what he claims. The police said that the man claims that he approached the cyber crime unit of the local police in Latur after he had been assaulted by someone, but the cyber crime unit officials had directed him to the local police which would handle such a case of assault.
“He says he was angry at this and made the threat call, warning of bomb blasts,” said a police officer. The man was nabbed from Chakur town after the police tracked down the cellphone number from which he had made the call on Sunday.
A complaint was filed by a cyber crime police station constable, Abhijit Raut, on Saturday. The complaint staates that multiple calls were received from a mobile number on the cyber helpline number between 1.08 pm and 3.23 pm. ‘After making multiple calls, the person spoke only once, saying in Hindi that serials bomb blasts would be effected in Dadar and on August 15’.
The person disconnected the line when the call attendant enquired where he was calling from. Soon after, the cop informed his seniors.
Deputy commissioner of police Dikshit Gedam supervised a team-BKC police senior inspector Vishram Abyankar, inspector Rajesh Gawli, sub-inspector Suraj Jarag- and tracked down Pandriwad.
