How far would you go to avoid telling your girlfriend or boyfriend the truth about something?

Four days after security at three major international airports in the country was beefed up following a hijacking threat, the police found out that it had all been a hoax.

A man, identified as Vamshi Chowdhary (31), is said to have sent the hoax mail to three City Police Commissioners just to cancel a trip with his girlfriend.

“He has been talking to a woman from Chennai. The couple had a plan to go for a pleasure trip to Mumbai and Goa. However, Vamshi has been facing financial crisis,” said Limba Reddy, DCP Task force Hyderabad.
