Anil Ambani Grilled by ED in Alleged Money Laundering Probe
Reliance Group chief questioned under PMLA Mumbai residence ‘Abode’ attached amid ongoing investigation
New Delhi, Feb 26: Reliance Group chairman Anil Ambani on Thursday appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the national capital for a fresh round of questioning in a money laundering investigation linked to an alleged bank fraud case.
The 66 year old industrialist reached the agency’s office around 10.30 am, where officials are recording his statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). He had earlier been questioned in August 2025.
The case is connected to an alleged bank loan fraud of over ₹40,000 crore involving his group company, Reliance Communications (RCOM). Ambani and several firms under the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG) are facing scrutiny over suspected financial irregularities and loan defaults.
The ED recently formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) following directions from the Supreme Court to examine multiple allegations related to the group.
On Wednesday, the agency provisionally attached Ambani’s Mumbai residence, ‘Abode’, valued at ₹3,716 crore, under provisions of the anti-money laundering law.
According to submissions made by the ED before the apex court, three separate money laundering cases have been registered against entities of the ADAG as part of the wider investigation into alleged bank fraud and financial misconduct.
