Montco man who put spyware on father’s computer gets probation

A Pottstown man convicted of putting spyware on his father’s computer to capture passwords to e-mail accounts was sentenced Wednesday to two years’ probation.

Parth Ingle, 25, installed the program in an effort to find out if his father, Arunkumar, was having an affair. The elder Ingle was later found slain, a crime that remains unsolved.

Parth Ingle also was given 80 hours of community service and ordered to pay court costs.

In 2008, Arunkumar Ingle, 55, was found dead by his wife in the bedroom of their Middletown Township home in Delaware County. The Boeing Co. engineer had been beaten and stabbed.
