Anant-Radhika wedding: Gujarat engineer arrested for bomb threat

Mumbai Police arrest engineer for bomb threat post at Anant Ambani's wedding; accused traced to Gujarat.

The Mumbai Police on July 16 arrested a 32-year-old engineer from Gujarat over his social media post about a bomb threat at the wedding of Anant Ambani, the youngest son of industrialist Mukesh Ambani, in Mumbai last week, an official said.

The accused was identified as Viral Shah, a resident of Vadodara, he said.

"He was nabbed this morning by the Mumbai police's crime branch from his residence in Gujarat," he said.

The Mumbai Police were on high alert after an X user @ffsfir wrote a post about the potential threat which reads like "My mind is wondering shamelessly that half the world would go upside down tomorrow after a bomb went off at the Ambani wedding. trillions of dollars in one pin code."
