The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday questioned Anmol Ambani, son of industrialist Anil Ambani, for the second consecutive day in connection with an ongoing money laundering investigation, official sources said. The 34-year-old was examined under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) as part of a wider probe linked to alleged financial irregularities involving companies associated with the Reliance Group.
According to sources, Anmol Ambani’s statement was recorded for the first time on Friday, with investigators seeking clarity on certain financial transactions, shareholding patterns, and the flow of funds. He was reportedly asked to explain his role, if any, in decision-making processes of specific group entities and to provide details related to investments, loans, and inter-corporate transfers that are under the scanner.
The ED’s questioning is said to be linked to a larger investigation into alleged diversion and misuse of funds, including loans availed from banks and financial institutions. Over the past few years, the agency has been probing multiple cases involving Reliance Group companies after banks flagged suspected irregularities and possible violations of financial norms.
Officials indicated that the questioning was “routine” and part of the evidence-gathering process. “Statements are being recorded to understand the structure of transactions and the involvement of various individuals,” a source said, adding that the probe is still at a preliminary stage.
Neither Anmol Ambani nor representatives of the Reliance Group have issued a formal statement on the matter so far. Legal experts note that being questioned under the PMLA does not automatically imply wrongdoing and that the process allows the agency to collect information and documents before deciding on further action.
The ED has intensified scrutiny of high-profile corporate cases in recent months, summoning executives and promoters to trace money trails and establish accountability. Further questioning may take place depending on the information and documents submitted during the ongoing investigation, sources added.
