According to available information, Joshilda, a former senior consultant with a reputed Chennai-based firm, targeted schools, a cricket stadium, and a medical college with fake bomb threats. Shockingly, in one of her emails, she allegedly claimed responsibility for the Air India Ahmedabad–London plane crash on June 12, which resulted in the deaths of approximately 260 people, both onboard and on the ground.

Police sources revealed that Joshilda was reportedly obsessed with her male colleague and acted out of unreciprocated affection. The entire scheme was allegedly orchestrated to implicate him in criminal cases.

The RGIA police have taken her into custody in connection with the two bomb threat cases registered within their jurisdiction. She has since been remanded to judicial custody.
