Man arrested from Telangana over death threats to Mukesh Ambani.
A 19-year-old individual hailing from Telangana, identified as Ganesh Ramesh Vanapardhi, has been apprehended for his alleged involvement in sending death threats to the chairman of Reliance Industries, Mukesh Ambani.
The threats, conveyed through email, demanded substantial sums of money and raised concerns about the safety of the industrialist.
The ordeal began on October 27, when Mr. Ambani’s security in-charge filed a complaint with the Mumbai Police after the first threatening email, demanding ₹20 crore, arrived from an unidentified sender.
Subsequently, two more emails followed, with the amounts escalating to ₹200 crore and then an alarming ₹400 crore, accompanied by a menacing ultimatum of violence if the demands were not met.

Mumbai Police swiftly launched an investigation, leading them to trace the origin of the threatening emails to an individual named Shadab Khan in Belgium.
However, authorities are currently probing the authenticity of this identity, exploring the possibility that the emails might have been sent using a false persona.
This incident is not the first time that Mukesh Ambani has faced such threats. Last year, a man from Bihar was arrested for making anonymous calls, threatening to target Mr. Ambani and his family members.
The threats included a chilling plan to “blow up” the HN Reliance Foundation Hospital and the Ambani family residence, ‘Antilia,’ located in south Mumbai.
The arrest of Ganesh Ramesh Vanapardhi highlights the challenges posed by cybercrime and the importance of robust security measures in the digital age.
Authorities continue to investigate the case diligently, ensuring the safety and security of one of India’s most prominent industrialists.
As a man arrested from Telangana over death threats to Mukesh Ambani, the public awaits further updates on this alarming incident that has sent shockwaves through the business community.
