The one that had given a false threat to the security agencies to blow up the live concert of internationally famous Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh turned out to be not a dreaded terrorist organization but a vicious young man from Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. The police and cyber crime cell team, while investigating promptly, have arrested this accused who created panic by creating a fake email ID. While this quick success of the security agencies has given a sigh of relief to the concert organizers and fans, it has also given a strong message to the mindless people spreading sensation through internet and fake emails.
The whole matter is related to the upcoming live concert of Diljit Dosanjh, for which a huge craze was being seen among the youth demanding tickets. Meanwhile, the concert organizers and the local police administration received an anonymous email. This email claimed that if Diljit Dosanjh’s show was organised, a series of bomb blasts would be carried out at the concert venue.
As soon as the email was received, there was panic in the security department. Intelligence agencies, local police and cyber cell teams were immediately put on alert mode. The security of the concert venue was tightened and with the help of technical experts, they started tracing the IP address and digital footprints of the email sender.
When security agencies thoroughly examined the routing header and server logs of the email, it was found that this email was sent using an encrypted and fake identity. However, cyber experts tracked down the original location of the email using state-of-the-art techniques.
Connecting the threads, the needle of investigation turned towards Kanpur city of Uttar Pradesh. With the help of Kanpur Police and Special Task Force (STF), a raid was conducted at the mentioned place, from where the youth who committed this act was taken into custody. During initial interrogation, the accused confessed that he had created this fake email ID only with the intention of creating sensation, getting publicity or attracting attention and had given false threat of bomb blast.
Mobile phones, laptops and other digital devices have been recovered from the possession of the accused, which have been sent for forensic examination. Police are also investigating whether the youth has any criminal history or was in contact with any other suspicious network.
Senior officials of Kanpur Police say that giving any kind of threat using social media or internet, spreading fake news or creating an atmosphere of fear among the public is a very serious and non-bailable crime. Legal action is being taken against the accused by registering an FIR under relevant sections of the Indian Justice Code (BNS) and the Information Technology Act (IT Act).
After the arrest of this mad fraudster, Diljit Dosanjh’s concert organizers and lakhs of fans have heaved a sigh of relief. The organizers have clarified that the show will be held as per schedule and police forces and private security personnel will be deployed at every nook and corner for the safety of the spectators.
The administration has also appealed to the general public not to believe any kind of misleading or rumor-spreading news on social media and to immediately report any suspicious activity to the police. This incident has once again proved that in this era of cyber crime, security agencies are keeping a close watch on every digital activity.
