The searches, being conducted under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), are continuing at some locations out of the more than 35 premises that were covered in Mumbai since Thursday, the sources premises belong to 50 companies and 25 people including a number of executives of the Anil Ambani Group companies. ED sources had said the investigation primarily pertains to allegations of illegal loan diversion of around Rs 3,000 crore, given by the Yes Bank to the group companies of Ambani between 2017-2019. Reliance Power and Reliance Infrastructure, two companies of the group, had on Thursday informed the stock exchanges saying while they acknowledge the action, the raids had "absolutely no impact" on their business operations, financial performance, shareholders, employees, or any other stakeholders."The media reports appear to pertain to allegations concerning transactions of Reliance Communications Limited (RCOM) or Reliance Home Finance Limited (RHFL) which are over 10 years old," the companies had ED, the sources had said, has found that just before the loan was granted, Yes Bank promoters "received" money in their agency is investigating this nexus of "bribe" and the sources said the ED is also probing allegations of "gross violations" in Yes Bank loan approvals to these companies including charges like back-dated credit approval memorandums, investments proposed without any due diligence/credit analysis in violation of banks credit loans are alleged to have been "diverted" to many group companies and "shell" (bogus) companies by the entities agency is also looking at some instances of loans given to entities with weak financials, lack of proper documentation of loans and due diligence, borrowers having common addresses and common directors in their companies etc., the sources said. The money laundering case stems from at least two CBI FIRs and reports shared by the National Housing Bank, SEBI, National Financial Reporting Authority (NFRA) and Bank of Baroda with the ED, they said. These reports indicate, the sources said, that there was a "well-planned and thought after scheme" to divert or siphon off public money by cheating banks, shareholders, investors and other public institutions.

Reliance Mutual fund is also stated to have invested Rs 2,850 crore in AT-1 bonds and a "quid pro quo" is suspected here by the Tier 1 (AT-1) are perpetual bonds issued by banks to increase their capital base and they are riskier than traditional bonds having higher interest rates. An alleged loan fund diversion of about Rs 10,000 crore involving Reliance Infrastructure too is under the scanner of the agency.A Sebi report on RHFL is also part of the ED companies also said in their filings before the stock exchanges that Anil Ambani was not on the Board of either Reliance Power or Reliance Infrastructure and that they had no "business or financial linkage" to RCOM or RHFL. Any action taken against RCOM or RHFL, the companies said, has no bearing or impact on the governance, management, or operations of either Reliance Power or Reliance Infrastructure.

BB OTT 3 Fame Adnaan Shaikh SCAMMED In Gym Business Of Rs 5 Lakh By Close Friend: 'I Trusted…'
Adnaan Shaikh said that a person he had known since childhood, someone from his inner circle, ended up scamming him. He told Hindustan Times, 'The very person I trusted most, someone from my inner circle, mismanaged my gym business and scammed me. It led to the loss of money and theft of costly gym equipment – over rupees 5 lakhs." It all started in June this year when the individual, a close friend of Adnaan's brother, reached out for support. 'He was well known to me and my brother. He was more like a friend and also lived close by. I even helped fund his sister's wedding," Adnaan said. When Adnaan launched his first gym in Mumbai, a dream he had nurtured for years, he gave the person the responsibility of managing its social media. 'Soon he requested a job, and I gave him one in my gym. But sadly, within a year and a half, he broke that trust," Adnaan said. Adnaan said that he initially ignored discrepancies in the accounts, but things eventually added up. 'I avoided the prevailing discrepancies in accounts for some time. But then I had to confront him," he added. The person attempted to cover up the fraud with a false excuse. Adnaan revealed, 'I cross-checked only to know it was a lie. That's when I realised it was all made up. Eventually, he confessed to stealing around Rs 4 lakh." The betrayal hit Adnaan hard, prompting him to take legal action. 'After this incident, I've become very cautious. It has made it difficult for me to trust new people. Rebuilding that kind of faith takes time," he also mentioned. Looking back, he admitted that warning signs were there. 'Despite occasional doubt, I continued to trust him because of our long-standing association," he explained. Now, Adnaan has a strong message for others, 'I ask all to be cautious about who you trust with your business or personal responsibilities. No matter how long you've known someone, always maintain proper accountability and regularly monitor your finances. Learn from my experience. Stay alert, stay aware, and protect your hard-earned money." Adnaan Shaikh is a popular social media influencer, who makes content on fitness, travel, and his family. He got married last year after participating in Bigg Boss OTT 3 with Sana Makbul, Ranvir Shorey, Delhi's famous Vada Pav girl Chandrika Dixit, and others. The influencer was recently blessed with a baby boy.

Man steals cheques from Coimbatore bank drop box, deposits them in his account
COIMBATORE: The Coimbatore city police are searching for a man who stole cheques from a bank drop box and deposited them in his account. Sathish, a customer of a private bank's branch in RS Puram, deposited two cheques totalling Rs 14,000 in the bank's collection drop box on July 5. When the amount was not credited to his account even after six days, Sathish visited the bank to discuss the matter with branch manager Ramkumar. Upon checking the cheque status, Ramkumar discovered that the amount had been credited to a different account. Ramkumar filed a formal complaint with the RS Puram police. The police obtained CCTV footage showing a man opening the drop box and stealing the cheque, which was later deposited into another account. The police said, "It is highly unusual to deposit cheques issued in someone else's name. We have CCTV footage and details of the account where the money was credited. The involvement of bank staff cannot be ruled out, as such operations would be difficult without insider assistance. We are investigating all possible angles." According to bank sources, more than 10 cheques worth over Rs 1.40 lakh have been stolen and encashed through different accounts. The police registered a case. Further investigations are on.
