Police said more barricades are being put by the police outside 'Antilia' and cops are scanning CCTV footages.

Reports quoting Mumbai Police said that one person has been identified and has been called for inquiry. He is a taxi driver from Gujarat. Nothing suspicious recovered from him so far.

Ambani's 27-storey house, 'Antilia' is located on Altamout Road in Mumbai.

Police said the taxi driver was standing near Killa court in south Mumbai when a car pulled over and its occupants asked him about the location of Ambani's residence.

In February this year, an explosives-laden SUV was found parked outside 'Antilia', triggering panic.

The National Investigative Agency is probing the alleged role of the then Assistant Police Inspector of Mumbai Police, Sachin Waze, in the SUV incident, and he was arrested.
