Mumbai Indian owner Mukesh Ambani received a death threat on 27th October. In a threatening email, the multi-millionaire was asked to pay 20 crore rupees or else he would be killed. The Mumbai Police have lodged a complaint against a Shadab Khan who is said to have sent the extortion email to the MI owner ahead of IPL 2024 Auction.
According to the Mumbai police, it was written in the threatening email that “If you don’t give us 20 crore rupees, we will kill you, we have the best shooters in India.”
After receiving the email, Mukesh Ambani’s security in-charge filed a complaint to the Gamdevi Police of Mumbai. As a result, the Mumbai Police has filed charges of the Indian Penal Code (IPL) that include, 387 (putting a person in fear of death or of grievous hurt in order to commit extortion) and 506 (2) (criminal intimidation).
