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.
