A 'threat letter' was found in the car along with explosive materials from the car found near the residence of industrialist Mukesh Amb's residence on Thursday, said a source in Mumbai Police of Friday.
According to the source, the handwritten letter in 'broken English' was addressed to Mukesh Amb and his wife Neeta Amb.
