A 62-year-old man undergoing mental health treatment has been arrested for sending bomb threats to Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation, threatening to blow up stations if his ex-wife was "tortured." The suspect, Rajiv, has been receiving psychiatric treatment at NIMHANS for five years and was living alone since his divorce 15 years ago. This incident follows another recent case where a female software engineer was arrested for sending multiple bomb threats to schools across several Indian states.
