The South Mumbai jeweller who made threat calls to Mukesh Ambani and family has been sent to police custody till August 30 by a magistrate court in Mumbai. The accused, 56-year-old Vishnu Bhowmik, was produced before the court on Tuesday.
Bhowmik was brought from Dahisar to DB Marg police station on August 15.
The prosecution has said that considering that the call was made on Independence Day, there is an ulterior motive. “This call was made on the day of Independence Day so there is a motive and intention. Why did he not do it on any other day? There is a threat to Mukesh Ambani and why did he specifically call him only? So, this case is not a simple case and it is a very serious offence,” the prosecution argued.
