The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has attached assets worth more than ₹3,000 crore linked to Reliance Group Chairman Anil Ambani as part of a money laundering probe against his group companies, news agency PTI reported.

The agency issued four provisional attachment orders under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The attached properties include Ambani’s residence in Mumbai’s Pali Hill, as well as residential and commercial assets owned by various Reliance Group firms.

A plot of land belonging to Reliance Centre on Maharaja Ranjit Singh Marg in Delhi, along with several other properties across Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Mumbai, Pune, Thane, Hyderabad, Chennai and East Godavari, have also been seized. The total value of the attached assets stands at ₹3,084 crore, PTI reported.

Case linked to diversion of funds

The case is related to alleged diversion and laundering of public funds raised by Reliance Home Finance Ltd (RHFL) and Reliance Commercial Finance Ltd (RCFL). Between 2017 and 2019, Yes Bank invested ₹2,965 crore in RHFL and ₹2,045 crore in RCFL through various instruments. However, by December 2019, these investments turned “non-performing”, with ₹1,353.50 crore outstanding for RHFL and ₹1,984 crore for RCFL, according to the ED.

The latest action forms part of a wider probe into alleged financial irregularities and loan diversions exceeding ₹17,000 crore involving multiple Reliance Group companies, including Reliance Infrastructure.
