Mumbai: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has provisionally attached assets worth Rs 3,034 crore linked to companies associated with Anil Ambani’s Reliance Group, as part of its ongoing money laundering investigation.

According to sources, the action targets entities under the Reliance Anil Ambani Group (RAAG), including Reliance Communications (RCOM) and Reliance Infrastructure (R-Infra). The attached assets include a flat in Mumbai, a farmhouse in Khandala, a hill property in Maharashtra, land parcels in Sanand near Ahmedabad, and 7.71 crore shares of Reliance Infrastructure.

The central agency issued a provisional attachment order under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), a legal provision that allows authorities to temporarily seize assets suspected to be proceeds of crime and restrict their transfer during the investigation.

With this latest move, the total value of assets attached in cases related to the group has reached Rs 19,344 crore. The ED is probing allegations of bank fraud and diversion of funds, examining how loans were utilised across group companies and whether financial irregularities occurred.

The case is part of a broader enforcement push against large-scale corporate fraud in India, with further action expected based on the outcome of the ongoing investigation and legal proceedings.
