Anil Ambani called for questioning on 26 February, will be questioned in money laundering case

The Enforcement Directorate has issued a fresh summons to Reliance Group Chairman Anil Ambani. Since he did not come to give statement this week, he has been called again for questioning on 26th February. His wife Tina Ambani has also postponed the hearing twice. Tina Ambani was to appear before the ED on 10 February and 17 February. ED said that both have been called to record separate statements under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Anil Ambani once appeared before the ED in August 2025. It is believed that Tina Ambani has been called for questioning about the money trail related to the purchase of a luxury apartment in Manhattan, New York. ED had recently arrested former Reliance Communication chairman Punit Garg in this case. The ED had earlier claimed in a statement that the New York property was fraudulently sold by Garg in 2023 during the corporate insolvency resolution process of Reliance Communication. Reliance Communication is believed to have informed the stock exchange about this fraudulent sale in 2025. The ED had earlier claimed that the amount of $8.3 million (about Rs 69.55 crore) from the sale was sent from the US under the guise of a fake investment arrangement, which was controlled by a person with links to Pakistan along with a Dubai company, and the same was not known to or approved by the resolution professional. The agency had recently filed a case against Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group on the directions of the Supreme Court for alleged bank fraud and related crimes. A special investigation team has been formed to probe several cases of financial irregularities. As part of the investigation, it has attached assets worth Rs 12,000 crore and filed three complaints called Enforcement Case Information Reports against Reliance Group companies.
