According to a report in the Hindustan Times, the Mumbai Police were informed about the social media post by a netizen on Saturday, July 13. Reportedly, a user with the handle @FFSFIR wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “A shameless thought crept into my mind that if a bomb went off at Ambani's wedding, half the world would turn upside down. Trillions of dollars in one pin code.”

A police officer told the portal, “The message has been taken as a hoax, but the police team, which looks at social media posts, will definitely look into it.” There has been no FIR registered in the matter, but an investigation is ongoing regarding the user’s identity and the motive of the post.
