MUMBAI: A few hours after police commissioner M N Singh told
newsmen that terrorist organisations were making extensive use of
the Internet for networking, unlike the underworld which still
preferred mobile phones, Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd (VSNL)
received an e-mail threatening to blow up all important installations in Delhi,
Mumbai and Bangalore, besides airports, railway stations and hospitals.

The e-mail, which was received by the VSNL and handed over to the police at
7.30 pm on Wednesday, was also sent to important organisations like the
Bhabha Research Atomic Centre, various airlines, consulates, etc., joint
commissioner of police (crime), B S Mohite told newsmen on Thursday.

The e-mail text challenges the police to protect India, saying that a group of
"freedom fighters" based in Mumbai, Delhi, Gulbarga and Jaipur will execute
`operation chaos in India' anytime up to November 14. The e-mail was sent
between 1.30 pm and 2.30 pm on Wednesday.

In a quick operation that lasted merely two hours, the police, under the
supervision of deputy police commissioner, Archana Tyagi, along with internet
experts Vijay Mukhi, Flynn Remedios and staff, swooped down on a cybercafe,
Jay Paras, at Rajawadi in Ghatkopar and picked up its owner for interrogation.

Mukhi said the e-mail was traced through the internet protocol (IP) address
allotted to it. "The e-mail was sent using a dial-up connection through a
specific telephone number which was traced to the cybercafe," he said.

Mohite however, refused to identify the owner, but said either he or somebody
known to him must have sent the e-mail since he alone had the password to
the particular machine from where the mail was sent. The police have seized the
machine and registered a case of sedition, conspiracy and threatening national
security against the unidentified senders.

Mohite also refused to comment on whether the e-mail could be a hoax. "We
are taking the case very seriously," he said. He said, the police had alerted all
the organisations which have been threatened and security heightened.
