New Delhi, July 28: While the security agencies were
grappling with the email of Indian Mujahideen, some media
houses have been busy in receiving emails warning of more bomb
explosions in various parts of the country.
Various television channels in the national capital as
well as in Bangalore have received emails from one email
address or the other, warning various places that would be
targeted soon.
However, the emails while being traced from the IP
addresses have led to cyber cafes and seem to have been used
by some pranksters to spread panic.
"Maujauddin", "Mujahedindia" "Allahbakhshish" and one
from "Gorkhaland" have been used to spread the rumours.
"Maujauddin", while attempting to camouflage his
identity, had chosen Pacific Daylight Time (PDT), a time zone
used in the United States.
All the accounts, created on Yahoo domain, were created
on July 26 and July 27.
This prankster did not remain confined to "Mujahideens"
only. Gorkhaland supporters also joined in by sending prank
emails to various television channels saying that if their
demand for a separate state were not met, more and more
explosions would be carried out.
