Caller Who Made Threatening Call To Ratan Tata Tracked Down

New Delhi: The anonymous caller who allegedly made a threatening call to former Tata Sons Chairman Ratan Tata has been tracked down. Mumbai Police said he is an MBA holder. The police said during the investigation, they learned that the anonymous caller, an MBA, had schizophrenia.

An officer of Mumbai Police said the caller asked the police to enhance Ratan Tata’s security, failing which he warned that the industry doyen would meet the same fate as former Tata Sons chairman Cyrus Mistry.

Notably, Mistry died in a car crash on September 4, 2022.

Upon receiving the call, Mumbai Police went into full alert mode. A special team was assigned to cater to Ratan Tata’s personal security while the other team was asked to collect information about the caller. The police said they tracked down the caller through technical support and with the help of a telecom service provider. The caller’s location was found to be in Karnataka, the police said, adding that he was a resident of Pune, Hindustan Times reported.

As the police reached his Pune residence, they came to know that the caller had been missing for the last five days and his wife had even filed a complaint at the Bhosari police station in the city. After questioning the caller’s kin, the sleuths learned that he suffers from schizophrenia and he took the phone, with which he made the call, from someone’s house without informing them. He rang up the control room of the Mumbai Police and threatened Ratan Tata, the sleuths said.

The officer said since the caller was found to be battling schizophrenia, the police decided against pursuing legal action against him.

The sleuths learned that the caller has an MBA in finance and also studied engineering
