A complaint filed by the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group has alleged that business rivals are trying to kill Anil and other other ADAG senior officials are also under threat.
Anil Ambani was scheduled to travel on Friday morning and the 'sabotage' was noticed just before his departure.
The mud and pebbles were found in the chopper's gear box, something that could have resulted in disaster if the helicopter was mid-air.
The chopper was damaged only internally and not externally, suggesting intentional malice.
Only Ambani's chopper was damaged while seven others parked nearby were untouched.
Airworks Private Limited, the maintenance company for the Bell 412, have both filed complaints against employees of the maintenance company who were on duty at that time.
The charges are under section 440 of the IPC - mischief committed to cause death or hurt.
Senior Police Inspector, Airport Police, Somnath Ghuge says, "Four people have been detained. They were on shift at the time. It's a mischief crime and they have been charged under Section 440."
Police suspect an ongoing stand off between the Airworks Management and its employees as the reason for the sabotage. But with Anil Ambani's company going on record with the allegation of attempt to murder, expect more twists and turns.
