Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani receives 3rd death threat, ransom demand of ₹400 crore

Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani has received a chilling death threat for the third time in a week, this time demanding a staggering ₹400 crore as ransom. The threat came via email, warning Ambani that no amount of security could protect him from a determined attacker.

The Mumbai Police are actively investigating the authenticity of the threat, examining whether the email was sent from a legitimate source or a fake address. Authorities are also in contact with the email provider to trace the origins of the menacing message.

This marks the third consecutive threat Ambani has received from the same email address over the past four days. Each message has been accompanied by a ransom demand, according to officials familiar with the case.

Just last week, Ambani received an email insisting he pay ₹20 crore ($2.7 or face assassination. The sender claimed to have access to the best sharpshooters in India. Mumbai's Gamdevi Police Station swiftly registered a case against the unknown assailant under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, acting upon Ambani's security team's complaint.

A day later, another threatening email arrived, this time demanding ₹200 crore under the same ominous ultimatum. Authorities are treating the threats with utmost seriousness, ensuring Ambani's safety while actively pursuing the culprits behind these sinister messages.

As the investigation unfolds, Mukesh Ambani, with a net worth of approximately $86.3 billion, remains the world's wealthiest Indian, as per the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
