Earlier this week, the police issued a mild alert across south Mumbai after a taxi driver informed that suspicious men travelling in a Wagon R car had asked him the address of industrialist Mukesh Ambani’s house Antilia. The police were able to trace the vehicle which turned out to be a tourist car.

“The Wagon R driver narrated everything to us and also shared details of the three businessmen. We verified his claims and also spoke to them over the phone and prima-facie nothing suspicious was found,” said Bhushan Belnekar, senior inspector of Azad Maidan police station.
