A 30-year-old man, who was arrested from Bihar’s Darbhanga district for allegedly giving death threats to industrialist Mukesh Ambani and his family members, was produced in a Mumbai court Monday and remanded in judicial custody for two weeks.
The lawyer who represented Rakesh Mishra in the court has claimed he is mentally disturbed. Advocate Shagufta Ishrail Shaikh from Ishrail and Associates said, “Mishra is suffering from schizophrenia and as he has been disturbed over the rising inflation he made calls to Ambani’s hospital. He believes that Ambani is responsible for the inflation.”
Mishra was arrested on October 6 after he dialled the landline number of Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital and threatened to blow up the hospital. He had also threatened to kill Mukesh Ambani and his family members and blow up their house, Antilia. While issuing the threats, Mishra had alleged that his men had carried out attacks in Pulwama and Mumbai.
Anti-sabotage checks were subsequently carried out at HN Reliance Hospital and Antilia. Security was also tightened at both places.
The police had produced him in court and he was subsequently remanded in police custody. While presenting Mishra in court on Monday, the D B Marg police sought further custody of the accused. However, the court sent him to judicial custody.
