Overview
- Ambani missed Friday’s scheduled questioning and asked to join remotely or be given a new physical date.
- Senior Enforcement Directorate officials indicated a virtual appearance will not be permitted, with a revised in-person summons expected.
- The summons concerns the Jaipur–Reengus highway project, where agency sources allege about Rs 100 crore was routed abroad through hawala.
- The broader investigation stems from a CBI FIR over loans exceeding Rs 40,000 crore to RCom-era firms, with the ED citing diversion via loan evergreening and related-party transfers.
- Recent actions include attachments of Rs 4,462 crore in assets and roughly 132 acres at DAKC valued near Rs 7,545 crore, as Ambani’s side says the contract was domestic and he served only as a non-executive director.
