New Delhi, November 20 — The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has provisionally attached fresh assets valued at more than ₹1,400 crore in connection with its ongoing money laundering investigation against Anil Ambani’s Reliance Group. With this action, the total value of attached properties in the case has risen to nearly ₹9,000 crore.
Officials said the attachment was carried out under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The seized assets include properties located in Navi Mumbai, Chennai, Pune, and Bhubaneswar, among other places.
The case relates to alleged financial irregularities and a bank fraud estimated at over ₹17,000 crore involving Reliance Group companies. The ED had earlier attached assets worth ₹7,500 crore linked to the group.
Anil Ambani has already been questioned by the agency in connection with the probe. Authorities noted that the latest attachment underscores the seriousness of the investigation and reflects the agency’s efforts to recover proceeds of crime.
The adjudicating authority under PMLA will now review the attachment order, while further questioning of Ambani and other associates is expected as part of the ongoing investigation.
