The Bengaluru Police were on high alert on Saturday after they received a phone call from a man who alleged that he had seen several women carrying weapons and what looked like explosives into a temple in Annapoorneshwari Nagar. At around 12 pm on Saturday afternoon, the Annapoorneshwari Nagar Police received a call from a man, who sounded like he was in a state of panic. “The man said, that he was at the Annapoorneshwari Temple where he had seen three women carrying weapons and what looks like bombs. He told us that the women were planning to hold the devotees hostage,” the Annapoorneshwari Nagar Police said. Soon, the police along with the canine bomb detection squad was pressed into action. They evacuated the devotees from the temple and began combing the area for a bomb. “We combed the area for over two hours but we could not find anything. Then we began suspecting that it may have been a hoax call,” the police added. When the police tried to call the mobile number of the man who sent the tip, it was switched off. Finally, they tracked it down to Srirampura and managed to arrest 32-year-old V Sunil Kumar. “When we questioned him, he told us he had seen three women carrying weapons into the temple. He began blaming us saying he did what any concerned citizen would. He even blamed us and said that the police should not keep sending alerts to people to call in suspicious activities,” the police added. When the investigation led nowhere, the police brought in Sunil’s father for questioning. “Sunil’s father told us that he was in the UAE for a few years and worked as a driver. He was married to a woman, who left him because he was overly jealous. Ever since, he has been trying to make trouble for any woman he saw on the road and he would randomly get angry if women spoke to him,” the police added. Annapoorneshwari Nagar Police say that Sunil had on multiple occasions picked fights with women on the roads and on Sunday, when he saw three women talking near the temple, he wanted to make trouble for them. “He kept telling us that he could identify the women and also asked for us to sketch out their faces. But his father told us that he has been trying to harass random women after his wife left him,” the police added. The Annapoorneshwari Nagar Police have booked Sunil under section 505 (causing public mischief), 507 (criminal intimidation by anonymous communication), 268 (public nuisance) and 290 (punishment for public nuisance) of the IPC.
