Antilia bomb scare
Antilia bomb scare had hit headlines on February 25 after a SUV containing 20 unarmed explosive gelation sticks was found outside Ambani's residence. Inside the vehicle, a note addressed to Mukesh and his wife Nita Ambani, was found. It was stated in the note that this act was just a prelude and more violence can be anticipated.
The bomb scare spiralled into a chain of events as the SUV was traced to Mansukh Hiren. Hiren, a car decor shop owner from Thane had claimed that the vehicle was stolen a week ago. After a week, Hiren was found dead in Mumbai.
Sachi Vaze, Mumbai Police officer was arrested for his alleged involvement in the bomb scare. As the case furthered Param Bir Singh lost his Mumbai Police Commissioner post. Further, Singh alleged that Home Minister Anil Deshmukh directed Vaze in a letter to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. Deshmukh was forced to resign after the Bombay High Court ordered a Central Bureau of Investigation inquiry into the allegations.
