Former actress Tina Ambani, wife of Reliance Group Chairman Anil Ambani, did not appear for the second consecutive time on Tuesday on the summons of the Enforcement Directorate (ED). He was called for questioning in a money laundering case. According to officials, even earlier on February 10, she had not appeared before the Federal Investigation Agency, after which a fresh notice was sent to her. At present it is not clear whether he has given any reason for his absence to the investigating officer or not. ED sources say that she may be given a new date for questioning. Officials of the investigating agency said that when Tina Ambani appears, she will be interrogated in detail and her statement will be recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. In the same case, 66-year-old Anil Ambani has also been asked to appear for the second time on Wednesday in connection with the investigation into various companies of Reliance Group and bank loan cases related to them. He appeared before the ED for the first time in August 2025.
US property deal investigation
According to sources, Tina Ambani has been called to investigate the source of funds related to the purchase of a luxury residential apartment located in the Manhattan area of New York. In this case, ED had recently arrested former Reliance Communications Chairman Punit Garg. The agency alleges that this New York-based property was fraudulently sold by Garg during the corporate insolvency resolution process in the year 2023. It is said that Reliance Communications had informed the stock market about this suspicious sale in the year 2025.
Doubt on foreign transactions
According to the ED, the amount of US $ 8.3 million (about Rs 69.55 crore) received from the sale of this property was sent from the US to a Dubai-based entity in the name of alleged fake investment. The agency also claims that the unit was controlled by a person linked to Pakistan.
Special investigation team formed
On the directions of the Supreme Court, the ED has recently constituted a Special Investigation Team to probe several cases of alleged bank fraud and financial irregularities against the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group. The agency has so far attached assets worth about Rs 12,000 crore as part of the investigation and has filed three enforcement case information reports against the group companies.
