Reliance Industries chairperson Mukesh Ambani received a death threat email – reportedly the third such email in a span of just four days.
The unidentified sender has reportedly demanded a ransom of $48 million (₹4 billion).
Ambani’s company received the email on Monday morning, PTI reported, citing an unnamed police official.
Earlier, an FIR was registered at Gamdevi police station in Mumbai based on a complaint filed by the industrialist’s security in-charge after the first email, seeking $2.4 million (₹200 million) ransom, was received from an unidentified person on Friday.
On Saturday, the company received another email demanding $24 million (₹2 billion).
The company received the third email on Monday, in which the sender doubled the demand, the official said.
The Mumbai police, their crime branch and cyber teams are working to trace the sender of the email, he added.
Last year, the Mumbai police arrested a man from Bihar for making death threat calls to Ambani and his family members.
