Mumbai: A day after Anil Ambani's helicopter was found to have been tampered with, Reliance Communications on Friday claimed business rivals were planning to kill the billionaire industrialist.

Mud and pebbles were found inside the seven-seater VT-RCL Bell 412 helicopter's gear box on Thursday evening.

The complainant claimed that the planned manner in which the pebbles and gravel were put in the filler cap at a height of 10 feet in the gear box clearly showed that some one possibly business rivals were attempting to take the life of Anil Ambani.

The helicopter was standing outside a hangar at the Mumbai Airport, when mud and pebbles were found in the gear box of the helicopter.

Reliance Transports and Travels Private Limited is the owner and operator of helicopter. Airworks India Engineering Private Limited which maintains the Bell 412 helicopter says it has filed a case against one of its own employees for allegedly putting mud and pebbles into the chopper's gear box.

Anil had bought the helicopter for his private use in 2007.
