ED Summons Anil Ambani for Nov. 14 as FEMA Probe Widens and Third Arrest Is Made in Reliance Power Case

The summons underscores a widening, multi‑agency investigation into suspected diversion of bank loans.

Overview

  • Anil Ambani has been called to the ED’s Delhi office on Nov. 14 for fresh questioning in the RCom-linked money‑laundering case, after a prior August deposition.
  • Separate FEMA action now targets alleged illegal outward remittances tied to Reliance Infrastructure, including a ₹38–40 crore transfer and a purported hawala trail flagged by investigators.
  • The ED has provisionally attached group assets totaling about ₹7,500–7,545 crore, including 132 acres at Dhirubhai Ambani Knowledge City and properties in multiple cities.
  • The probe stems from a CBI FIR based on an SBI complaint, with authorities citing ₹40,185 crore in dues, fraud tags by five banks, and alleged diversions via evergreening, related‑party transfers and FDs/MFs.
  • The ED made a third arrest in a separate ₹68.2 crore ‘fake’ bank‑guarantee case linked to a Reliance Power subsidiary, taking Amar Nath Dutta into custody after earlier arrests of Ashok Kumar Pal and Partha Sarathi Biswal.
