Police have been investigating the Scorpio discovered outside Mukesh Ambani's house Antilia on Thursday night and have found clues from the CCTV footage shared by the local shopkeeper of the area. Apart from the 20 gelatin sticks, police also recovered a blue bag with 'Mumbai Indians' inscribed on it which is Neeta Ambani's IPL team. Police also recovered a letter which said, "Geeta Babhi and Mukesh Bhaiya, Be alert, this is just a trailer, we have made all arrangements to blow up the whole family. Good Night."

The letter was written in English and bad handwritten which made difficult for the experts to track down the man who parked the car. However, Police said that they got to know from the CCTV footages that the Scorpio car came from the direction of Thane and even stopped at Haji Ali Junction for 10 minutes at around 12:20 am.

The Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh also shared some more details about the car found outside Antilia:
