Mukesh Ambani Receives Repeated Death Threats Via Email After Ignoring Previous Rs.400 Cr Demand, Confirms Mumbai Police

Published

on

Mukesh Ambani, the wealthiest industrialist in the country received a death threat again on email, Mumbai police confirmed on Saturday. According to the police, Ambani received a ‘reminder’ in the same mail which demanded a sum of Rs 400 Cr earlier this week. The threat mail this time warned the industrialist of serious consequences for ignoring previous threats.

“Industrialist Mukesh Ambani received two threat emails once again between October 31 and November 1, warning him of serious consequences for ignoring previous emails wherein the person (sender of the mail) had demanded Rs 400 crore,” said Mumbai Police.

Previous Death Threats To Ambani

The business magnate earlier received his third death threat on Monday, this time demanding Rs. 400 crore. A police officer revealed that the sender and email ID remain the same, with only the extortion amount increasing. The email was traced back to Belgium. Consequently, security around Ambani’s residence, Antilia on Altamount Road, has been heightened.

In the email, the sender wrote, “Now the amount is 400 crore, and the police can’t track and arrest me. No matter how good your security is, only one of our snipers can kill you.”

The Mumbai Police has reached out to the Belgian-based email service provider for information about the sender.

Two Previous Threat Emails

The initial threat email was received on Friday night last week, signed by an individual claiming to be Shadab Khan, using a Belgian corporate address, demanding Rs. 20 crore. The email threatened, “If you don’t give Rs. 20 crore, we will kill you. We have the best shooters in India.”

The second threat email was sent on Saturday evening from the same email ID, demanding Rs. 200 crore and stating, “You did not respond to our email; now, you will give us Rs. 200 crore. If you do not provide the money, your death warrant will be signed.”

On Friday at 9 pm, Mukesh Ambani’s executive assistant informed Devendra Munshiram, the security in charge of the Antilia building on Altamount Road, about the threatening email from Shadab Khan.

Mukesh Ambani, the richest person in Asia and ranked ninth on the world’s rich list, already receives ‘Z’ Plus security from the central government. Government security personnel form the primary security layer around him, with private guards constituting the secondary ring.

Security Beefed Up After Latest Threat

Following the latest threat, security for the Ambanis and their residence has been significantly reinforced, and precautions have been taken to avoid public events.

It is unclear whether Shadab Khan is the real identity of the person behind the threats. Gamdevi Police, responsible for the jurisdiction of Antilia, have registered a case against an unknown individual under IPC sections 387 (putting a person in fear of death or grievous harm for extortion) and 506 (2) (criminal intimidation), along with relevant sections of the Information Technology Act. An investigation is underway, with the assistance of the cyber police.

I’ve announced an increase in the scheme’s stipend from Rs1500 to Rs2100 per month. Our goal is to enable women to stand independently. We’re also promoting and marketing products from women’s self-help groups to ensure they get their rightful market share.”

He said that the government is promoting and marketing products from women’s self-help groups to ensure they get their rightful market share. The goal is to make every woman a lakhpati.

She is contesting from Mumba Devi and I have come to campaign for her… People of all communities live in Mumba Devi… I appeal to all voters to vote for her… If Shaina goes to the Vidhan Sabha, she can present women’s problems very well in the assembly… The statement made by Arvind Sawant was an insult to all women and the people will teach a lesson to those who insult women.”

Shaina NC expressed gratitude for the support, promising to work diligently for Mumba Devi’s constituents.

Published

Mumbai: Uddhav Thackeray released the Shiv Sena (UBT) manifesto for the Maharashtra assembly elections today (Thursday, November 7) and made a huge promise to the residents of Dharavi of scrapping the existing tender for Dharavi redevelopment project. Thackeray said that the tender flouts norms and favours Adani- the developer of the project. The Sena UBT manifesto however mentions that after a new tender will be floated.

Speaking over the much-talked-about Ladki Bahin Scheme, Uddhav Thackeray said the scheme will continue. However, when asked by the reporter as how will the funds be managed for providing monthly financial assistance to women in Maharashtra, Thackeray said the plan is ready, however, he will not reveal it as the Mahayuti will steal the idea.

Thackeray clarified that many of the promises made by his party overlaps the promises in Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA). In an unique idea, the Sena UBT has also released a pocket manifesto. People can carry the manifesto in their pockets, which also has a QR code. The voters can scan the code to easily access poll promises the party has made, Thackeray said.

With less than 15 days remaining for the 2024 Maharashtra assembly polls, the political parties have started releasing their election manifestos. On Wednesday, in a MVA rally in Vidharbha, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi announced five promises the party will fulfil after coming to power.

The promises concentrated on women and youth, including a Mahalakshmi Yojana for women under which Rs 3,000 will be given per month to one woman in every family and free bus travel for women.

While Sharad Pawar said that when MVA comes to power it will launch a Krishi Samruddhi Yojana, with a farm loan waiver of up to Rs 3 lakh for every farmer.

Maharashtra Assembly Elections 2024: Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi Pays Homage To Dr BR Ambedkar At Deekshabhoomi In Nagpur, Launches Party’s Campaign With Criticism Of BJP & RSS On Inequality

Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi Pays Homage To Dr BR Ambedkar At Deekshabhoomi In Nagpur, Launches Party's Campaign With Criticism Of BJP & RSS On Inequality

Nagpur: Congress leader and star campaigner Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday launched his party’s election campaign with a visit to Deekshabhoomi that stands in memory of B R Ambedkar and then latching on to the Constitution book that stands for equality.

“When I talk about the caste census, Modiji says that I am dividing the nation. But I am amplifying only a feeble voice from the deprived masses. I have heard the voice which says 90% of the population gets no benefit of the country’s resources. Only a caste census can give justice to this 90% deprived population of India,” said Rahul.

“The RSS and the BJP cannot attack the Constitution from the front. So they hide behind ‘vikas’ , ‘pragati’ , unity (words like ‘development’, ‘progress’, patriotism’) to carry on their agenda of inequality that ensures benefits only to few individuals at the cost of vast majority of people,” said the Congress leader.

Gandhi was addressing a “Samvidhan Samman Sammelan” (Respecting Constitution conference) organized by OBC youth Rights Forum which was attended by members of 200 civil society organizations and NGOs and social bodies that work for equal rights among people.

Though the convention was supposed to be non-political and pro-Constitution affair with no Congress leader adorning the dais except Rahul Gandhi, the purpose of hitting the BJP-RSS hard under the garb of saving statute book was more than obvious. “Modiji is having sleepless nights ever since I raised this demand of caste census,” thundered Rahul Gandhi.

Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi Accuses BJP & RSS Of Ignoring The Caste Census Demand

“The BJP and RSS are huddled in meetings to find a way to wriggle out of this situation but are finding it hard to take a position, “ Rahul stated accusing the BJP and RSS of ignoring the caste census demand as they wanted only 5% of the people in the country to accumulate wealth and enjoy benefits of power. “From where does the RSS get money to maintain its huge facility here and to run Shishu Mandirs and Eklavya Vidyalayas,” he asked and answered that it comes from BJP-run governments in MP, Rajasthan , Gujarat and from favoured industrialists Adani and Ambani.

Rahul Gandhi Reaffirms His Commitment To The Caste Census

Rahul Gandhi reaffirmed his commitment to the caste census, describing it as a step towards justice and equity. He argued that the level of caste-based discrimination in India is unparalleled in the world. Arriving here this afternoon, Gandhi first visited Deekshabhoomi, the historic site where Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, the chief architect of the Indian Constitution, embraced Buddhism in 1956.

Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi Pays Tribute To Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar

Paying homage to Ambedkar before attending the Samvidhan Sammelan, Gandhi highlighted Ambedkar’s legacy.

“When you read Ambedkar ji’s writings, you’ll see that he isn’t speaking of his own struggles but of others’. Ambedkar ji and Gandhiji never focused on their own pain—they spoke for the suffering of the people. When India entrusted Ambedkar ji with drafting the Constitution, it meant it resonates voices and pain of millions of marginalised masses.”

The Constitution drafted by Ambedkar is not just a book but a way of life, Gandhi said. When people from the RSS and BJP attack the Constitution, they are attacking the voice of the country, he added. “You won’t find a single Dalit, OBC and Adivasi in the management team of Adani group,” Gandhi said. “You waive off Rs 16 lakh crore debts of just 25 people, but when I speak of farmers’ loan waiver, I am attacked for changing habits of these people,” he lamented.

“Caste census will bring a clarity an paradigm shift as it will ensure justice to 90% of people who are missing from judiciary, bureaucracy, corporate management . It will give these deprived masses, power, wealth and respectability ,” Gandhi said. “We have demolish the 50 per cent (reservation cap) wall,” he added. We have to tell the country that we are fighting to secure justice for over 90 per cent marginalised people in the country,” he said.
