Investigation Intensifies: Ambani Group Faces Financial Irregularities

Investigation Intensifies: Ambani Group Faces Financial Irregularities.webp

New Delhi, February 16 Tina Ambani, former actress and wife of Reliance Group Chairman Anil Ambani, is expected to appear before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday for questioning in a money laundering case.

This is the second summons issued to the 69-year-old Tina Ambani.

She was issued the first summons to appear before the federal investigation agency here on February 10, but she failed to appear.

She was then issued a fresh summons, asking her to appear before the ED on February 17.

There has been no immediate response from ED officials regarding this development.

Once Tina Ambani appears, she will be questioned, and her statement will be recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), officials have said.

Anil Ambani, 66, has also been asked to appear before the agency on February 18 for the second time as part of the investigation related to multiple Reliance Group companies and their bank loans. He first appeared before the ED in August 2025.

The Reliance Group has not responded to news reports related to these summonses.

It is understood that Tina Ambani has been called for questioning regarding a money trail related to the purchase of a luxury condominium in Manhattan, New York.

The ED recently arrested former RCOM (Reliance Communication) President Punit Garg in this case.

The New York property was "fraudulently" sold in 2023 during the corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP) of RCOM by Garg, the ED claimed in a statement earlier.

It is understood that RCOM informed the stock exchange about this "fraudulent" sale in 2025.

"The proceeds of USD 8.3 million (approximately Rs 69.55 crore in 2023) were remitted from the USA under the guise of a sham investment arrangement with a Dubai-based entity controlled by a person linked to Pakistan, without the knowledge or consent of the Resolution Professional (RP)," the ED had claimed earlier.

The agency has recently constituted a special investigation team (SIT) to probe multiple cases of alleged bank fraud and linked financial irregularities against the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG) on the directions of the Supreme Court.

It has attached assets worth Rs 12,000 crore as part of the probe and filed three complaints called ECIRs (Enforcement Case Information Reports) against Reliance Group companies.
