Mumbai:
Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani has received a fresh death email threatening to shoot him if he does not pay Rs 200 crore, police said on Saturday.
Police said the person who sent the email increased his demand from Rs 20 crore to Rs 200 crore this time as there was no response to his earlier email.
“Another email came from the same account and read, ‘You did not respond to our email, now the amount is Rs 200 crore, otherwise the death warrant has been signed,’” police said.
On Friday, Mukesh Ambani received an email threatening to shoot him if he did not pay Rs 20 crore.
According to Mumbai Police, the threat email read: “If you don’t give us 20 crore rupees, we will kill you, we have the best shooters in India.”
Based on a complaint from Mukesh Ambani’s security in-charge, Gamdevi police in south Mumbai have registered a case against an unidentified person under Sections 387 and 506 (2) of the Indian Penal Code.
Further research is being conducted.
