Anant Ambani Wedding: Engineer Arrested by Mumbai Police Over Bomb Threat on X

Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding received a bomb threat on social media, leading Mumbai police to detain a 32-year-old engineer on Tuesday. A social media post about a possible bomb threat at billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s son Anant Ambani’s wedding prompted the Mumbai police to quickly open an investigation. He revealed that the accused was a Vadodara native named Viral Shah. “He was nabbed this morning by the Mumbai police’s crime branch from his residence in Gujarat,” an officer with the police said.

The disruptive scenario, which proposed that the world economy would collapse if a bomb went off during Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding, was posted on social media by a person named @FFSFIR. The post on X, a social networking platform that was once Twitter, stated, “It dawned on me that if there was a bomb at Ambani’s wedding, half of the world would collapse.” In a single pin code, trillions of dollars.

Following a tip from a concerned citizen, police officers in Mumbai noticed the post on social media and decided that the bomb threat was false. Nevertheless, they increased security around the wedding venue at the Bandra-Kurla Complex. The X user was located in Vadodara during the investigation, the official stated, adding that a team from the Mumbai criminal branch was dispatched to the city in the neighboring state and they arrested the culprit there. The accused was then taken to Mumbai.
