A spurned lover seeking vengeance on his former girlfriend was detained by the police on Sunday for allegedly scribbled threats of an ISIS attack with her phone number on advertising pamphlets in the restrooms of a Thane mall. The accused identified as Ketan Ghodke (24), was nabbed from his residence in Vikhroli and kept at Vartak Nagar police station till he confessed to writing the terror messages and the phone numbers of his former girlfriend and her current boyfriend.

"Ghodke, an insurance agent, was in a relationship with the woman for seven years. But due to some differences, she broke off with him and was now in another relationship. Upset with her rejection, he decided to take revenge and wrote the prank terror messages," a police officer stated.
