Hoax bomb scare - Woman let off with no arrest

Woman just don't leave any opportunity to nag their husband and also to take full advantage of the sympathy showered upon them by the media, society and the judges!!
As if not satisfied enough with nagging her husband, she went ahead to make a hoax bomb scare at the husband's employer which is a bank.
Obviously, she had scant regards as to the sensitivity of the issue and inconvenience it caused to the bank, customers and authorities.
Strange is the modus operandi of the police in this case. Normal course is to arrest the person who makes such hoax calls. But, all such "normal course" was bent to suit for the woman!!

Some samples below on how men making hoax bomb calls were arrested:

CHENNAI: Tired of asking her husband to take leave and spend time with her, a woman allegedly called a private bank in Parrys where he works early on Wednesday and warned of bomb blasts.
Her intention was that the bank would close down for the day and her husband, who works there as a security guard, might come home early. An hour later, police personnel swooped down on the house and took the woman into custody for interrogation. According to police sources, the private bank authorities received a phone call around 8 a.m. that a bomb would explode in the premises. On information, police and Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad personnel conducted a thorough check and declared the threat as a hoax.
Since the caller’s number was recorded in the bank’s telephone, police located the suspect’s house in Vysarpadi and went there. Scared on seeing the police, the woman confessed to making the call.
“She thought that the bank would close down following the bomb scare. The fact remains that she had no intention of committing any crime. Her idea was only to spend more time with her husband. We referred her to a counseling centre,” Additional Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) M. Shakeel Akhter said. Though the routine process would be to register a case and arrest the accused, the Chennai Police took a lenient view and let the woman go. Her husband was also advised to spend more time with family, a police official added.
