Gujarat HC grants conditional bail to Chennai woman engineer held for hoax bomb threat emails
In an oral order made available on Thursday, Justice Nikhil S Kariel granted conditional bail to Joshilda, 30, stating that the "court is of the opinion that this is fit case to exercise the discretion and enlarge the applicant on regular bail".
According to the case of the prosecution, Joshilda deliberately created fake ids in the name of Prabhakar, who she had been in a relationship with, in a bid to implicate him after their relationship allegedly turned sour. NOTING THAT the ‘bomb threat’ emails sent by a Chennai-based robotics engineer, Rene Joshilda, to multiple institutions in Gujarat was the act of “a disturbed person”, and committed following “dispute in a relationship with third party”, the Gujarat High Court has granted conditional regular bail to Joshilda in the case registered at the Bopal police station in Ahmedabad.
In an oral order made available on Thursday, Justice Nikhil S Kariel granted conditional bail to Joshilda, 30, stating that the “court is of the opinion that this is fit case to exercise the discretion and enlarge the applicant on regular bail”.
Considering the submissions made by Joshilda’s lawyer as well as the prosecution, which had opposed bail, the oral order of the court says, “The allegation against the applicant being of having sent anonymous emails to various organisations, alleging that there are bombs kept in the organisations concerned, which had resulted in unnecessary harassment to the police machinery and to the organisations concerned… yet, it would appear that the applicant appears to be a disturbed person… more particularly, it would appear that the alleged crime may have been committed by the applicant following some dispute in a relationship with third party…”
