According to sources, eight threatening calls were made to the public display number of HN Reliance Foundation Hospital. The caller had threatened to kill his entire family in three hours. The hospital management had lodged a complaint regarding this matter at DB Marg police station. Mumbai Police started investigating the matter by forming three teams. In the initial investigation, it was found that the caller is the same and he made eight consecutive calls. After this, the location of the caller was traced and he was taken into custody. His interrogation is still going on.

The caller was threatening our chairman by name. After this, between 10.45 am and 12 noon, eight to nine calls were received on the public number of the hospital from unknown numbers.
