The Enforcement Directorate (ED) will issue fresh summons to Tina Ambani, wife of industrialist Anil Ambani, after she failed to appear for questioning in a money laundering case.
She was asked to depose on Monday regarding a money trail linked to the purchase of a luxury condominium in Manhattan, New York, but she did not join the probe.
Tina Ambani, 68, a former actor, faces questioning as part of a wider investigation into alleged financial irregularities involving the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG). The ED recently arrested former Reliance Communications president Punit Garg and formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe multiple bank fraud cases on Supreme Court directions.
The agency earlier provisionally attached assets worth Rs 1,885 crore linked to ADAG entities. These include Reliance Infrastructure’s shareholding in BSES Yamuna Power Ltd, BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd, and Mumbai Metro One Pvt Ltd, along with bank balances, receivables, and immovable properties. With this action, total attachments against the group have reached nearly Rs 12,000 crore.
According to investigators, group firms such as RCOM, RHFL, RCFL, Reliance Infrastructure Ltd, and Reliance Power Ltd allegedly diverted large sums of public money. RHFL and RCFL together received over Rs 11,000 crore in public funds.
The ED continues to examine financial records and assets while preparing to summon Tina Ambani again. The investigation remains ongoing, and no arrests have been made in connection with her summons.
