MUMBAI: Reliance
Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani has received two threat emails in the last 48
hours, prompting the Gamdevi police to register a case and begin efforts to
trace the sender.
Soon after, Devendra Munshiram, security
in-charge at Antilia, the 27-storey south Mumbai residence of the Ambani
family, filed a police complaint.
The second email from the same person landed
on Saturday evening. This time, the sender increased his demand by 10 times,
to ₹200
crore, since the billionaire industrialist did not respond to his first mail
and threatened to “to sign his death warrant”, a police officer said.
The police officer said the accused used an
email service provider from Europe and they had written to them to locate him
through the internet protocol address.
“We have booked an unknown person under section 387 (putting
a person in fear of death or of grievous hurt in order to commit extortion) and
506 (2) (punishment for criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code,” the
officer added.
