Tight security outside Antilia, the Ambani residence, on Friday
MUMBAI: Police said the 20 explosive gelatin sticks found in the vehicle near the Ambani reaidence weighed 2.5kg and had the potential for an impact that could have been felt over an area of 3,000sqft.
Police said another vehicle, an Innova, was tailing the SUV from Thane to Carmichael Road, where Ambani's bungalow Antilia is located. The Innova had a fake registration number and is yet to be traced.
The Scorpio owned by the Thane businessman was stolen on February 17 from the Mulund-Airoli route where it was parked due to a snag. Police said the gelatin sticks found in the vehicle were manufactured by a Nagpur company named Solar Industries, but the firm has no system of tracking individual explosive cartridges. A sports bag bearing the Mumbai Indian logo was also found in the vehicle.
