"47-year-old Srinivas Louis, who was arrested for allegedly sending more than 1,000 hoax threat messages targeting several institutions, High Courts and government offices across the country, has been sent to a 6-day Delhi Police remand. It has come to light that he had a land dispute in Mysuru, Karnataka, and his father was not getting his share.

The officials further stated that messages and emails were sent by him via phone.
"Most of the mails/messages were sent by him from his phone. Police team has gone to Mysuru to take the device into their custody. He was an expert in masking his IP address. He had sent emails to a few cities even in Pakistan. He kept changing his address, fearing that he would get caught. Not just Courts across several cities, but even the Supreme Court was on his target," Delhi police stated.
