Explosives found outside Mukesh Ambani’s house

Yeh sirf trailer hai [This is only a trailer],” read the letter which was found in the explosive gelatine sticks-laden SUV parked outside Mukesh Ambani’s house in Mumbai. Police had recovered the letter and 20 explosive gelatin sticks from the abandoned SUV near Mukesh Ambani’s residence ‘Antilia’ in South Mumbai on Thursday.

The content of the letter, kept next to the driver’s seat in a ‘Mumbai Indians’ bag, was made public on Friday. Addressing the Ambani family, the threat letter further goes on to say that arrangements have been made and next time, “this material [apparently the explosive gelatin sticks] will reach you a developed state.”

“Ye to sirf ek trailer hai. Neeta Bhabhi, Mukesh Bhaiyya, family ye to sirf ek jhalak hai. Agli baar ye saaman pura hokar tumhare pass aayega aur pura intezaam ho gaya hai,” the letter read.

Police suspect that the accused themselves had called the police to inform them about the car parked close to Mukesh Ambani’s residence in Mumbai. Sources in Mumbai Police said the plan to park a vehicle with explosives outside Mukesh Ambani’s residence was being done for about a month.

According to police, the accused wanted to park the vehicle closer to Mukesh Ambani’s residence ‘Antilia’ but due to security reasons, they left it a few hundred metres away from the industrialist’s residence.

The police also said that the accused were, in a way, trying to make it apparent that they had been tracking the movement of the Ambani family.
