Mukesh Ambani security scare: NIA to probe death of Hiren

Mumbai, Mar 08: The investigation into the death of Mansukh Hiren who was found at a creek in Thane has been handed over to the National Investigation Agency.

Hiren was the owner of the vehicle found outside the residence of Mukesh Ambani with gelatine sticks and a threat letter.

The case was earlier registered by the ATS following a complaint by Hiren's wife, Vimla. A missing report had been lodged, but after his body was found, the police registered a case of accidental death.
