Mumbai Police on Thursday arrested Rakesh Kumar Mishra (30) from Darbhanga in Bihar for allegedly making calls to Sir H N Reliance Foundation Hospital here in the last two days, threatening to blow up the hospital and kill Ambani, his wife Nita and sons Akash and Anant. The caller had also threatened to blow up Antilia, the famous south Mumbai residence of the Ambani family on Altamount Road in South Mumbai . According of the city police, this is the second instance of Ambani family getting threats on the hospital landline number. On August 15 this year, the hospital had received at least nine calls threatening the Reliance Industries chairman and his family members, said an official. <keyword id="15181308" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="bishnu-vidu-bhoumik" source="Orion">Bishnu Vidu Bhoumik</keyword> (56) was arrested in connection with the calls. In November 2021, Mumbai Police increased the security outside Antilia following a tip given by a taxi driver about a possible threat, but investigation found there was no such threat. But an incident involving threat to the Ambani family earlier that year made national headlines and shook the state government. On February 25, 2021, an explosive-laden SUV was found parked on Carmichael Road in South Mumbai, near the Ambani residence. Police recovered a printed threat note inside along with gelatin sticks. The note this was only a "trailer" and there would be assembled explosives next time instead of just loose sticks. <keyword id="10875173" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="mansukh-hiran" source="Orion">Mansukh Hiran</keyword>, a Thane-based businessman, told police the SUV had been stolen from his possession. But the matter took a grim turn when Hiran was found dead in a creek in Thane a few days later, and an Assistant Inspector of Mumbai crime branch, <keyword id="1006310" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="sachin-waze" source="Orion">Sachin Waze</keyword> was arrested for alleged involvement in parking the SUV near Antilia and also for Hiran's murder. The affair also led to Mumbai Police Commissioner <keyword id="8848108" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="param-bir" source="Orion">Param Bir</keyword> Singh being shunted out. An angry Singh then accused then home minister Anil Deshmukh of asking police to collect money from bars in Mumbai; Deshmukh subsequently resigned and the CBI registered a corruption case against him. Mukesh Ambani currently has a Z-Plus security cover, provided by the Central government. The Central Industrial Security Force provides security to his residence. In 2013, a letter sent in the name of terror outfit Indian Mujahidin was delivered to Ambani's Maker Chambers office in Nariman Point area. It threatened him for supporting then Gujarat Chief Minister <keyword id="6354477" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="narendra-modi" source="Orion">Narendra Modi</keyword>. Mukesh Ambani's younger brother and industrialist Anil Ambani was in news for reason related to security in 2009 when pebbles were discovered in the fuel tank of his chopper. It was suspected that it was a sabotage attempt.

 As per media reports, Sagar’s father couldn’t keep his business afloat, which is when they shifted their home to <keyword id="6383000" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Nallasopara">Nallasopara</keyword> from <keyword id="77815" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Borivli">Borivli</keyword>. To make both ends meet, Sagar started working in call centres. While he was still working with call centres in <keyword id="29128" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="ahmadabad">Ahmadabad</keyword>, he used to sell private data of common people to fraudsters. 
 Soon after he formed a team with his school mates and started a call centre. They had all the data from previous organizations they have worked for. They would call unsuspecting US citizens and threaten them to reveal their income details to <keyword id="6355946" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="FBI">FBI</keyword>. They would blackmail these US citizens and earns money. Each day they were earning Rs 150 crores. 
 The modus operandi, according to Thane Police Commissioner <keyword id="6414617" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Param-Bir-Singh">Param Bir Singh</keyword>, was simple. The caller would begin the conversation telling the listener the badge number and name of the <keyword id="6359816" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="IRS">IRS</keyword> official. They would threaten the Americans saying if they didn’t pay up, then the police would raid their home in the next half hour. Investigations showed the calls were made through Voice Over Internet Protocol (<keyword id="54765" type="TECHNOLOGY" weightage="20" keywordseo="VoIP">VoIP</keyword>).

Most victims paid between $500 (Rs 30,000) to $60,000 (Rs 4o lakhs). 
 Sagar’s ambition to become rich and his fantasy for luxury knew no bounds. He owns a Audi TT, Bentley, BMW, Bugatti and some more luxury cars in his stable.

But what it surely will do is provide clarity between legit ventures and fraudulent ones. Cryptocurrencies have never been considered to be a <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/why-is-the-cryptocurrency-market-so-volatile-expert-take">‘stable’</a> financial asset, but add fraud into the mix and things can get really complicated. And, that’s exactly what <a href="https://news.bitcoin.com/police-forces-bust-alleged-new-age-cryptocurrency-scam-in-india/">happened</a> in Thane, a city that lies on the periphery of Mumbai in the state of Maharashtra. The cryptocurrency racket Amit Lakhanpal, in collusion with four other people, launched a cryptocurrency called Money Trade Coin (MTC) at an Initial Coin Offering (<keyword id="236078" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="ICO">ICO</keyword>) in <keyword id="6354539" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Dubai">Dubai</keyword>. An ICO, in its essence, is similar to an Initial Public Offering (IPO) when a company goes public. MTC was initially valued at $3 (₹200) when it launched in 2017 with Lakhanpal <a href="https://news.bitcoin.com/police-forces-bust-alleged-new-age-cryptocurrency-scam-in-india/">allegedly</a> promising investors a 20-fold return on their buy-in within six months according to Param Bir Singh, the police commissioner in Thane. Soon enough, he raised the value of MTC to $6,000 (₹401,472). Cumulatively, with 2,500 people in the mix, that amounts to ₹5 billion. But, there was no way for them to sell any of the cryptocurrency or even make limited withdrawals. So, basically, people made an investment but couldn’t get to their returns, or even the principal amount. In fact, the scam only caught the attention of the authorities when a businessman and his colleagues finally complained that they could no longer get a response from the company with respect to their investments. According to the police, it was easy for Lakhanpal to get away with the scheme due to the portfolio he had created for himself, including a fake degree from an international university. Apparently, he launched a magazine that highlighted ‘inspirational quotes’ and images of famous celebrities as well as a book on cryptocurrency, which added to his profile. The <keyword id="6354335" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="reserve-bank-of-india">Reserve Bank of India</keyword> (RBI) may be <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/indian-cryptocurrency-exchanges-looking-for-leeway-from-rbi/articleshow/64453526.cms">imposing</a> a blanket ban on cryptocurrency exchanges, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the people won’t participate if the opportunity were to present itself. That being said, the uncertainty and <a href="https://factordaily.com/cryptocurrency-last-legal-stand-in-india/">lack of clarity</a> on where the government of <keyword id="3658" type="COUNTRY" weightage="20" keywordseo="India">India</keyword> stands on the issue creates a problem. It’s not about whether to invest or not, but rather about whether or not it will create more of a controversy if its reported, for the victims.
