Man at heart of Mukesh Ambani’s security scare turns out to be a curious tourist!

<p>
A 40-year-old man from Gujarat has been taken into custody by Mumbai Police after the security scare around billionaire Mukesh Ambani's  residence on Monday night.</p>
<p>
The man, identified as Suresh Visanji Patel, was picked up from Navi Mumbai.</p>
<p>
Initial inquiries have not turned up anything suspicious as Patel appears to be a tourist who was curious to know about Ambani's 27-storey home, which is one of the most talked about landmarks in the metropolis.</p>
<p>
Police have, however, said they will question Patel further to rule out any possible threat.</p>
<p>
Security has been strengthened around richest Indian Mukesh Ambani's residence ‘Antilia’ in south Mumbai after the local police received information from a taxi driver that two suspicious people carrying bags were enquiring about the location of the house.</p>
<p>
Police had received a call from a taxi driver that two people had approached him, asking for the location of Mukesh Ambani's residence Antilia.</p>
<p>
The taxi driver's statement was recorded and the police had launched a manhunt after a detailed study of the CCTV footage of the area where the incident had occurred.</p>
<p>
The increased security for the leading industrialist comes after a major security scare in February this year, when a Scorpio SUV laden with explosives was found parked a few metres away from his house.</p>
<p>
Subsequently it was found that the now dismissed assistant police inspector Sachin Waze had a hand in the incident.</p>
