Fmr HM's son now blames ex-CP for Antilia conspiracy

Salil Deshmukh, son of former home minister Anil Deshmukh, has alleged that former Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh was the mastermind behind the planting of explosives in a vehicle outside Antilia, the residence of business tycoon Mukesh Ambani, chairperson and managing director of Reliance Industries.

Salil also claimed that the National Investigation Agency (NIA) was on the verge of arresting Singh for his alleged involvement but he evaded action with the help of the BJP.

The case has taken many twists and turns, ever since an SUV containing gelatin sticks was found parked in the vicinity of Antilia in February 2021. It has become a cocktail of political mud-slinging, personal vendetta, and a war of narratives.
