“Acting swiftly in the incident of threat calls to Ambani family, a team of Mumbai police has detained a person from a block in Darbhanga, Bihar, at midnight with help of Bihar police,” said Neelotpal, DCP (Zone 2).
The police have seized his phone and are yet to scan the device to understand why he made the threat calls to the business tycoon’s family. Also, they have not ruled out the terror angle.
