New Delhi. The ED is going to tighten more on Anil Ambani in the case of Rs 17 thousand crore bank loan fraud case. The Enforcement Directorate has written letters to about 12 to 13 private and public banks seeking details of the loan given to Anil Ambani’s companies. If the ED is not satisfied with the bank’s reply, then those officials can be summoned for questioning who approved loans to Reliance Housing Finance, Reliance Communications and Reliance Commercial Finance.
Banks from which ED has sought information include many big banks like State Bank of India, Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, UCO Bank and Punjab and Sindh Bank. Anil Ambani has already been issued a notice by ED and he has been called for questioning on tomorrow i.e. August 5. The lookout circular has also been issued against the federal investigative agency Anil Ambani to prevent Anil Ambani from going abroad. The loan given by banks to Anil Ambani’s company later became a non-performing asset (NPA). In the same case, the ED recently raided the premises of companies associated with Anil Ambani and his officials.
The ED raided about 35 different places from Delhi to Mumbai. Apart from this, the ED also raided Odisha and Kolkata in a fake bank guarantee case of Rs 68 crore associated with Anil Ambani’s companies. This fake guarantee was released in the name of Messrs Reliance NU Base Limited and Messrs Maharashtra Energy Generation Limited. State Bank of India had earlier declared both Reliance Communications and its promoter-director Anil Ambani as fraud.
