Ratan Tata, who has devoted almost his entire wealth to philanthropic work, has named his three most prized possessions after whom and what are they? This is being discussed a lot on social media. Ratan Tata's three most cherished possessions include pistols, guns and rifles. Now the question is, to whom did he give these three things? So the answer is Mehli Mistry. Ratan Tata has given the ownership rights of his three most valuable properties to Mehli Mistry. Despite being one of the oldest gun license holders in the country, Tata has rarely used it.
Where did these weapons come from?
According to a report, it is believed that these three things were gifted to Ratan Tata. Ratan Tata received one of these three as a gift from Sumant Mulgaonkar, who was the chairman of Tata Motors before succeeding Ratan Tata in 1988. Sumanth was very fond of hunting and used to hunt. However, this was when wildlife protection rules were not enforced. Apart from this, he also inherited two other things. One from his father Naval Tata and the other from JRD Tata, who was the longest serving chairman of the Tata Group.
Police took possession after death
After Ratan Tata's death, his weapons were handed over to the police armoury. To retrieve these weapons a mechanic must obtain a license citing their use for self-defense, sporting activities or decorative purposes. If they have any weapon, they can also get it registered under their existing license, sources said. It is being speculated that Mistry will choose the decorative category. If they do, the police will deactivate the firing pin. This will render the weapon unable to release ammunition.
Ratan Tata's house was named after Mistry
In particular, Indian regulations have become very strict in this regard, limiting the number of licensed firearms per person. Apart from these weapons, another property of Tata Beach in Alibaug has also been given to Mistry. Their relationship goes back decades, when they lived in Bakhtawar, a residential building located in Colaba, Mumbai. After retiring as Chairman of Tata Group in 2012, Tata shifted to a three-storey house in Colaba.
Who is Mehli Mistry?
Mehli Mistry is a close associate of Ratan Tata and is also a permanent trustee of the Tata Trust. Mehli Mistry is the cousin of former Tata Sons chairman Cyrus Mistry. It is said that since around the year 2000, he is considered very close to Ratan Tata and handles all the responsibilities of the functioning of Tata Trust. Apart from this, in the year 2022, he was given big responsibilities and included in the board of Sir Ratan Tata Trust and Dorabji Tata Trust.
