The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday issued a look-out circular against Reliance Group Chairman Anil Ambani over an alleged loan fraud case.
The ED summoned Ambani for questioning on August 5. The summons relates to an ongoing investigation into an alleged ₹17,000 crore loan fraud case involving his company. The agency will record his statement in accordance with the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), PTI reported.
Last week, the agency carried out searches in 35 locations belonging to 50 companies and 25 people, including several executives of the Anil Ambani Group companies.
