Reliance Group chairman Anil Ambani NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate on Friday summoned industrialist Anil Ambani on August 5 in loan fraud case amid probe over bribery, unsecured loans allegations, according to Economic Times.

A Delhi-based ED unit is spearheading the investigation. What's the case about The agency is probing alleged improper diversion of approximately Rs 3,000 crore in loans, granted by Yes Bank to Ambani's group companies between 2017 and 2019. In reaction to the raids, Reliance Power and Reliance Infrastructure issued clarification letters to the exchanges. According to officials, multiple agencies, including the National Housing Bank, SEBI, National Financial Reporting Authority (NFRA), and Bank of Baroda, have shared relevant information with the ED. Officials told that 'ED has found gross violations in Yes Bank loan approvals to RAAGA companies,' including backdated Credit Approval Memorandums, lack of due diligence, and breaches of the bank's credit policies. The loans were allegedly diverted to multiple group and shell companies. Red flags identified include loans to entities with weak financials, shared addresses and directors, poor documentation, and evergreening of loans. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 30 Captivating Portraits of Women from 80–100 Years Ago Undo Officials also noted, 'SEBI is also learnt to have shared its findings with ED in the case of RHFL.'

Preliminary investigation has thrown up a mysterious entity: 'C Company'. The entity, whose existence was not known so far, is allegedly found to have been involved in related party transactions in this whole scam, sources said. (This is a developing story)
