 A ₹400 crore ransom is demanded by the sender of Mukesh Ambani's third death threat

Mukesh Ambani, the chairman of Reliance Industries, received a third email threatening his life on Monday morning, demanding ₹400 crore as ransom. According to HT, this is the same sender who asked Ambani for ₹200 crore in two similar emails on October 27. 

"One of our snipers can murder you regardless of how strong your security is. This time, the money is ₹400 crore, and the police are unable to find me or take me into custody," the email said, as cited by Hindustan Times. 

The Mumbai Police on Monday stepped up security at Ambani's south Mumbai home in response to the murder threats. 

On October 27, Ambani got the first death threat, threatening to shoot him down if he didn't pay ₹20 crore. "We have the best gunmen in India; if you don't give us 20 crore rupees, that we will slaughter you," the email said. 

Sections 387 and 506 (2) of the IPC were used by the Mumbai Gamdevi Police to file a case against an unidentified individual in response to the security in-charge of Ambani's allegation. More research is being done.

Mukesh Ambani got a second death threat via the same email account on October 28. The emailer increased his demand from ₹20 crore to ₹200 crore on this occasion, citing the previous email's lack of response.

The Mumbai Police were reported by news agency ANI as stating, "Another email originated from the same email account whereby it was written 'U have not responded to our email now and your bail is 200 crore otherwise the warrant for execution is signed'."

Ambani and his family have previously been the target of death threats.

According to authorities, in 2022, an unknown someone contacted Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital in south Mumbai reportedly threatened to blow it up.

A jeweler was taken into custody in August 2022 after he reportedly threatened to harm Ambani and his family over the phone.

A sports utility vehicle with explosives was discovered in the vicinity of Ambani's "Antilia" home in south Mumbai in February 2021.
