A 19-year-old man was on Saturday arrested from Telangana for allegedly sending several death threats to industrialist Mukesh Ambani. The accused has been identified as Ganesh Ramesh Vanapardhi.
After being arrested, the accused was produced in court and was sent to police custody till November 8.
This comes days after Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani received a threat email from an unidentified person seeking Rs 400 crore.
Ambani’s company received the email on Monday and it was the third threat email sent to Ambani in four days, an official said at the time.
Earlier, an FIR was registered at Gamdevi police station based on a complaint filed by the industrialist’s security in-charge after the first email, seeking Rs 20 crore, was received from an unidentified person on Friday.
On Saturday, the company received another email demanding Rs 200 crore followed by a third email on Monday, in which the sender doubled the demand, the official said.
Last year, the Mumbai police arrested a man from Bihar’s Darbhanga for making death threat calls to Ambani and his family members. The accused had also threatened to blow up the Sir H N Reliance Foundation Hospital in Mumbai.
