The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday executed searches across various sites in Mumbai and Hyderabad. These operations are part of an investigation targeting Reliance Power Ltd., a company associated with business magnate Anil Ambani, officials reported.
The searches involved 10-12 locations connected to the company and its executives, according to sources. Approximately 15 ED teams are engaged in this extensive operation. Despite queries, the Reliance Group has not issued a statement regarding the raids.
The ED's investigation is centered around an alleged bank fraud and subsequent money laundering activities linked to several Anil Ambani-related companies. This probe, initiated under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, follows the Supreme Court's directive mandating a special investigation team to explore charges against the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG).
