Woman held for entering ISRO

A mentally challenged woman has

been arrested for unauthorised entry into the high security

Indian Space Research Organisation premises here, police said

today. Police told PTI that the 44-year-old woman has been

identified as Jula N Sam, a native of Ahmedabad. Jula was arrested on September 21 for trying to sneak into

a meeting being held at ISRO headquarters located at New BEL

Road near here with a fake ID card, police said. BSF sub-inspector Rama Rao grew suspicious about her

movements and questioned her and after a brief enquiry she was

handed over to CISF Inspector Lakshman Singh and later a

police complaint was lodged, sources said. Police said Jula had visited Kollam in Kerala to attend

the last rites of her father on September 19 and after that,

came to Bangalore the same night and stayed at ISRO's guest

house at Jeevan Beemanagar, around 10 km from the ISRO

headquarters, by producing a fake ID card. She had obtained the card from a photo studio at Kollam,

police said. Police booked Jula under various IPC sections including

471 (using as genuine a forged document or electronic record),

420 (cheating) and 490 (breach of contract of service during

voyage or journey). Police said Jula's husband, who is in the city, claimed

that his wife is mentally challenged.
