A 'sleazy' email addressed to President Pratibha Patil has landed a student of a reputed engineering college in Bengaluru in trouble, with a team from the Delhi police arriving in the city to question the MTech student.

Sources told rediff.com that the student had sent the email to the President last week.

The police in turn managed to track down the IP address from which the email was sent and tracked the person down.

A Delhi police team arrived in Bengaluru on Wednesday and headed straight to Mysore where the student hailed from.
