Jagdish Uikey, 35, from Gondia, a Maoist-affected district in Maharashtra, had emailed the PMO and other officials nearly 100 times since January.
A serial hoax mailer, who was detained in Maharashtra’s Nagpur for sending nearly 100 emails targeting the prime minister’s office (PMO), top government officials, and various flights and trains across India intended to publish a book titled “Atankwad-Ek Tufaani Rakshash (Terrorism: A Demonic Storm)”.
Jagdish Uikey, 35, from Gondia, a Maoist-affected district in Maharashtra, had emailed the PMO and other officials approximately 100 times since January, seeking endorsement for his book on terrorism, according to Nagpur DCP for cybercrime, Lohit Matani. Uikey requested support for his book and eventually began sending false alerts out of frustration.
“Prima facie, he seemed to be pursuing PMO and others to get his book published with repeated emails, but later he switched to sending hoax mails in frustration,” police commissioner Ravinder Singal told The Times of India.
According to Nagpur’s additional CP, Sanjay Patil, Uikey’s book appears to be a basic compilation of terrorist theories readily available online.
