The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) raided the premises of industrialist and managing director (MD) of Reliance Group Anil Ambani in Mumbai on Saturday morning, August 23, in connection with a Rs 17,000 crore bank fraud case.
CBI officials raided Ani Ambani's Cuffe Parade property, Seawind, at around 7 am on Saturday. Sources told India Today that seven to eight officials arrived at the premises and have been conducting searches since then. An FIR against Anil was also registered.
The raids come after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) summoned Anil for nearly 10 hours on August 5 in a money laundering probe related to multiple bank loan frauds involving over Rs 17,000 crore.
