Cyberbullying of his girlfriend by some medical students in Chennai 5 years ago left this Tamil Nadu man so bitter that he decided to extract revenge from all those studying medicine across India. He didn't resort to similar crime but started targeting their most indispensible gadgets — laptops.
On Wednesday, Jamnagar Police were also amused when they arrested the 24-year-old laptop thief Tamilselvan Kannan as he confessed to having stolen at least 500 laptops from several medical college hostels across the country, mostly south India, since 2015.
Jamnagar Police was on his trail after 6 laptops were stolen from a room in the girls hostel of MP Shah Medical College on Dec 26, 2020.
KL Gadhe, inspector, B-division police station, Jamnagar said that “In 2015, some medical students in Chennai had clandestinely recorded an objectionable video of his girlfriend & made it viral. This filled him with bitter grudge against the medical students".
Tamilselvan used to search for names & addresses of medical colleges on the internet to target.
Gadhe told the news agency that “He stole laptops as, unlike mobile phones, they can’t be traced. Moreover, it was easy to sell them off".
He began targeting colleges in south India & thereafter shifted to Bhankri village near Faridabad where he began sneaking into medical college hostels in north India.
Jamnagar’s was his first theft in Gujarat. He reached the city in Dec & stayed in a hotel near Anupam Cinema & conducted a recce of the girls hostel. Somehow, he managed to find the key of one room & stole the laptops on Dec 26.
