Mumbai: The two Buldhana men arrested in connection with the threat to bomb the car of deputy CM Eknath Shinde have no political affiliation or criminal record, investigations have shown. Police said one of the accused held a personal grudge against the other and used his phone to send the threat. On Feb 20, Goregaon police lodged an FIR after receiving the threat via email. A similar email was sent to JJ Marg police station and to Mantralaya. The crime branch launched a parallel investigation. Using technical surveillance methods, they found that the email was sent by one Abhay Shingane (22), using one Mangesh Wayal’s phone. Wayal (35) and Shingane are residents of Deulgaon in Buldhana. While Wayal is a truck driver, Shingane has a phone shop. Police said the two men were drunk when Shingane looked up the email addresses of police stations in Mumbai and Mantralaya and sent the email from Wayal’s phone. Police said Shingane held a personal grudge against Wayal and was hoping he would land in legal trouble due to the email. tnn
