Explosives found near Mukesh Ambani’s house

A day after a huge security scare over an abandoned car found with explosives near industrialist Mukesh Ambani's Mumbai home, the police say its owner has been traced. The car was stolen recently and had a handwritten letter addressed to the Reliance chairman and Neeta Ambani inside, the city's police said.

A man in a mask and a hoodie is seen parking the car in security footage from the spot, but he has not been identified.

A few number plates have also been found in the Scorpio that was parked on Carmichael Road in south Mumbai, close to Mukesh Ambani's towering home Antilia, after midnight on Wednesday.

Twenty gelatin sticks - material used in explosives -- were found in the car by the bomb disposal squad, the police said yesterday. A Mumbai  police spokesperson said the number plate of the SUV matched that of a vehicle on Mukesh Ambani's security detail. A handwritten letter was also found, reportedly addressed to Mukesh Ambani and Neeta Ambani, but no details have been released on record.

The number plate is fake and the car was stolen from another part of the city, Vikhroli, the police said. The car's owner has been identified despite apparent attempts to wipe off the chassis number. The police are gathering CCTV footage from various parts of the city to track the route of the car.
