Reliance Group Chairman Anil Ambani appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Central Delhi on Thursday morning, February 26, 2026, for questioning in a high-profile money laundering case. The investigation revolves around alleged banking and corporate fraud worth ₹40,000 crore linked to the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG).
The ED had earlier summoned Ambani to its headquarters as part of the ongoing probe into these allegations. Officials are examining claims that multiple companies under his leadership misused bank loans on a massive scale, leading to the current investigation. Ambani was previously questioned by the ED in August of last year regarding similar matters.
In a significant move, the ED has attached Ambani’s Mumbai residence, “Abode”, valued at approximately ₹3,716 crore. This latest attachment raises the total value of assets seized in the ongoing investigation to ₹15,700 crore. Authorities say the move is part of efforts to secure assets potentially involved in the alleged fraudulent activities.
The case has attracted widespread attention, given Ambani’s position as a leading industrialist and the scale of the alleged financial irregularities. Investigators continue to question key executives and review company documents to uncover further details of the purported banking and corporate fraud.
As the ED proceedings continue, Ambani’s appearance underscores the seriousness of the investigation. Legal experts suggest that the case could have long-term implications for ADAG and the Indian corporate sector, especially in terms of regulatory compliance and financial governance.
