- Total outstanding loans of RCOM stand at over ₹40,000 crore, with multiple banks and LIC among complainants.
The ED on Tuesday said it has provisionally attached assets worth ₹3,034 crore, including a Mumbai flat owned by industrialist Anil Ambani and a Khandala farmhouse jointly held by his son Jai Anshul Ambani, in a bank "fraud"-linked money laundering probe against Reliance Communications.
The provisional attachment has been made under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) to prevent dissipation of assets and safeguard the interests of banks and the public, the Enforcement Directorate said in a statement.
Reliance Communications (RCOM) is part of the Reliance Anil Ambani Group (RAAG).
According to a RAAG spokesperson, some of the attached properties belong to Kokilaben D Ambani, Anil Ambani’s mother.
The money laundering case originates from multiple CBI FIRs based on complaints filed by State Bank of India, Punjab National Bank, Bank of Baroda and Life Insurance Corporation of India against RCOM, Anil Ambani and others. |
