NEW DELHI: A 47-year-old man from Mysuru, accused of sending over 1,000 hoax emails targeting courts, government offices and schools across India — and even beyond — was driven by a deep personal grievance against the judicial system, Delhi Police sources revealed.As per news agency ANI, Srinivas Louis was arrested on Monday from his rented accommodation in Mysuru and has been remanded to six days in Delhi Police custody.According to the sources, Louis’s actions were rooted in a long-standing land dispute involving his father, who allegedly failed to secure his rightful share of property in Mysuru. The prolonged legal battle appears to have left a deep imprint on Louis.Apparently, Louis’ father was stuck in a land dispute case in Mysuru, Karnataka and was not getting his share of the property. The accused had harboured a deep resentment toward the judicial system, as justice was not being served to his father and decided to study law. After qualifying for the National Eligibility Test (NET), he worked as an assistant professor, the sources reveal.Investigators said Louis used his legal knowledge and technical skills to carry out the hoax campaign. Most of the emails were sent from his mobile phone, and he was adept at masking his IP address, making it difficult for authorities to trace him.His targets were widespread — from high courts across several cities to even the Supreme Court. He is also suspected of sending emails to locations in Pakistan. The messages, often composed in Kannada or English, were sent multiple times a day to different places simultaneously, creating alarm across institutions.The police have gone to Mysuru to take the mobile phone device into custody, sources said.Driven by the constant fear of being caught, Louis reportedly changed residences frequently. He lived with his mother, who is his only immediate family member.(With agency inputs)
