INDIA: Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries, has received two more fresh threatening emails between October 31 and November 1, warning him of severe repercussions for overlooking previous emails wherein the individual (sender of the mail) had demanded a ransom of Rs 200 crores. In the latest email, the ransom amount has been raised to Rs 400 crore, as per reports.
Mumbai Police said that between October 31 and November 1, industrialist Mukesh Ambani got two more threat emails, this time warning him of terrible consequences for ignoring prior emails in which the individual (sender of the mail) demanded Rs 400 crore.
Mukesh Ambani got two emails on October 27 demanding Rs 200 crore from the RIL managing director.
“Now it is increased 400 crore rupees, police can’t track me, they can’t arrest me, that’s why we have no problem killing you, no matter how good your current security is, only one of our snipers can kill you,” reads the recent threat email.
In the email that Ambani got on October 27, the sender made a demand for Rs 200 crore due to Ambani’s non-response to an earlier email in which the sender had asked for Rs 20 crore.
Following a complaint lodged by Mukesh Ambani’s security in-charge, Devendra Munsiram, the Gamdevi police initiated a First Information Report (FIR) for charges of extortion and criminal intimidation against the owner of the email.
The police have noted that, at first glance, it seems the email ID was established solely for the purpose of issuing these threats.
In October of last year, Bihar Police detained an individual from Darbhanga, Bihar, for making threats to kill Ambani and his family members.
