BHUBANESWAR: A student from a city-based English medium school has
claimed to have come under the scanner of the international spy
network for some of his “innovative concepts.”

Parents of the student on Monday lodged a complaint with the city
police describing about the “threats,” they had been receiving through
different e-mails. They sought police security.

The boy Sujit Kumar Kar, a Standard VIII student of Venkateswar
English Medium School, said that he had sent details about his
projects to the official e-mail IDs of the former President, A.P.J
Abdul Kalam, when he was holding office in the month January. But
somehow, the concept details fell in the hands of some other persons,
he alleged.

Since then, he had been receiving e-mails from Mohammad Aftab Bari,
who identified himself as one of the webmasters of the President’s
website.
The projects

Sujit claimed he was working on four projects, elimination of
‘Parthenium’, a plant species dangerous to health, Aerial
Electromagnetic technique for nuclear weapon diffusion, neutralisation
of earthquake impact and restoration of ice of Antarctica.
Subsequently, Bari promised the family to help earn Rs. 50 crores by
selling the projects.

As Bari went on to send instructions about how to go about the
projects, the family continued spending money on buying computers,
data cards, laptop and moreover anti-virus software.

The boy and his maternal uncle had even gone to Bangalore and Kolkata
following instructions from the e-mail sender.

Sujit’s uncle claimed they were even escorted by two police jeeps
during their stay in Bangalore, which was previously made known to
them by Bari.

“The messages sent by Bari were so intriguing about science that a
simple hacker could not have done this. After all, the process started
only when it was sent to the President’s e-mail. So, there was no
question of disbelieving anybody. We have spent about Rs. 5 lakhs,”
Sujit’s father Basant Kar said.

Sujit’s mother Menaka Mishra said: “The family members and Sujit are
in constant surveillance of the e-mail sender who managed to know even
petty matters transpired between us inside our house.”

‘Nothing important’

Sources in the central intelligence said that the department was not
attaching much importance to the matter.

They said names of persons mentioned by Sujit were not working in the
President’s office.
