Karnataka High Court Refuses To Quash Bengaluru Bomb Threat Case
What Happened
The Karnataka High Court refused to quash proceedings against 22-year-old Abhay Shee, accused of sending emails threatening blasts at Kempegowda International Airport and several Bengaluru malls. The prosecution alleges he created email accounts using another person’s identity. The Court rejected his argument that his internet connection was not working on the day of the alleged incident, saying an email account can be accessed through different devices and networks and that his defence must be examined at trial.
Key Takeaways
The Court has not decided whether the accused is guilty. It ruled that his internet-connectivity defence is a matter for trial and is not sufficient to terminate the case at this stage.
