Security cover of Anil Ambani to be beefed up

The security cover of Anil Ambani is likely to be beefed up following reports that he was getting threatening calls.

Anil, who met Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil on Wednesday morning at his residence, is understood to have discussed the issue with him, official sources said.

A Rajya Sabha member of the Samajwadi Party, Anil had claimed that he had been receiving threatening calls and had earlier also demanded security cover.

He is also understood to have broadly explained to him about the settlement reached at the Reliance empire with his elder brother Mukesh.

Meanwhile, security agencies were asked to prepare a perception of threat to Anil Ambani and also seek a report from Mumbai police.
