Murder, hoax calls, WhatsApp messages, Islamic State—all ingredients of a perfect movie plot; only the difference being—it all happened in real life.
IBM Techie’s Bomb Hoax Texts Lead Cops To A Murder Plot
Gokul MG, a 33 year old techie from Bengaluru made bomb scare calls to the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) airport as well as to Delhi & Bengaluru airports. Initially, the police viewed Gokul, who sent threat messages using a fake SIM he purchased in the name of Saju Jose, as a prankster. But after sustained interrogation, a shocking mystery was unfolded.
Here’s exactly what happened – Gokul fell in love with a Christian girl, who studied engineering with him in Thrissur, Kerala, till 2007. He wanted to marry her, however it could not happen due to reasons unknown. He moved to New Delhi later and fell in love with a common friend Anuradha, who was very spiritual & tied the knot with her in 2009 and had a baby with her. Meanwhile, his ex got married to Saju Jose in Bengaluru.
Gokul revealed that he found his ex-girlfriend on social media in 2011 when his marriage with Anuradha, was on the brink after he began suspecting her of having an extra-marital affair with one of her student. He hatched a plan and got a transfer to Bengaluru this March and moved into the same apartment complex where his ex was staying with her husband and two children. He then managed to get a spare key of Jose’s flat and stole copies of his passport to purchase the Airtel number with a new mobile phone. The same phone number was then used to make the hoax calls & texts by Gokul which was part of his plan to move Jose out of his way as he wanted to get back to his ex-girlfriend.
Gokul posed himself as a fake spiritual ‘BABA’ on a website and contacted Anuradha & manipulated her into sending photos of herself in compromising positions along with her student, and decided to kill her to gain custody of their child.
On 27th June this year, he made Anuradha drink to the extent that she passed out. Taking advantage of the situation, Gokul hit her multiple times on her forehead using a Lord Ganesha’s idol resulting into her death. Later, he called the police & his father-in-law and informed them that she died accidently.
Gokul MG passed out from Asia Pacific Institute of Management & worked with renowned firms such as Microsoft, Tata Teleservices & Idea. A well read & well-educated techie—could have a very bright future, however his fate landed him in jail.

What should I call it terrorism of love, in pursuit of this love man turned into demon. Where are our moral, ethics and common sense? Why we are running after the mirage which will pave the way to darkness only? Don’t give another example and clear face to LOVE TERRORISM.
