The 66-year-old industrialist entered the federal probe agency’s office in central Delhi around 10:30 a.m. and left around 8:20 p.m..

Officials in the agency said they have recorded Ambani’s statement under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

The probe pertains to an alleged bank fraud, worth more than ₹40,000 crore, by his group company, Reliance Communications (RCOM).

Mr. Ambani and his multiple group companies are facing allegations of loan fraud, and the ED recently constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe all these instances. The SIT was formed on the recent directions of the Supreme Court.

The ED on Wednesday (February 25, 2026) attached Ambani’s Mumbai house, ‘Abode’, worth ₹3,716 crore under the anti-money laundering law.

According to information furnished by the ED to the apex court, it has filed three money-laundering cases against the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG) to investigate charges of bank loan fraud and other financial irregularities.
