Industrialist Anil Ambani appears before ED in bank loan ‘fraud' case
Industrialist Anil Ambani Tuesday appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in New Delhi, after he was summoned for questioning as part of its money laundering probe into an alleged Rs 3,000 crore bank loan fraud involving companies of the Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group. The 66-year-old industrialist's statement will be recorded at the ED headquarters under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Last month, the ED carried out searches at over 35 locations linked to Anil Ambani and concluded their investigation on July 27. It also issued a Look-out Circular notice (LOC) to prevent him from travelling abroad, officials told The Indian Express. The probe agency is investigating allegations of illegal diversion of loans worth around Rs 3,000 crore disbursed by Yes Bank to the group's companies between 2017 and 2019. The probe agency is also examining whether there was a quid pro quo involved in the loan — specifically, if bribes were paid to bank officials, including Yes Bank promoters. Earlier, a spokesperson for Reliance Power said in a statement, 'The action by ED has concluded at all locations. The company and all its officials have fully cooperated and will continue to cooperate with the authority. Action by ED has no impact on the business operations, financial performance, shareholders, employees, or any other stakeholders of the company. The same appears to pertain to allegations concerning transactions of Reliance Communications Limited (RCOM) or Reliance Home Finance Limited (RHFL), which are over 10 years old.' The ED probe has found alleged violations in Yes Bank's loan approvals to the group's companies, including backdated credit approval memorandums and proposals for investments made without any due diligence or credit analysis — violations of the bank's credit policy, among other issues. The ED has also alleged that Reliance Mutual Fund invested around Rs 2,850 crore in AT1 bonds of Yes Bank in a suspected quid pro quo arrangement.

SC cancels bail granted to Dheeraj Wadhawan in loan scam case, directs him to surrender in 2 weeks
The Supreme Court on Tuesday cancelled bail granted to former DHFL promoter Dheeraj Wadhawan in the multi-crore bank loan scam case. A bench of Justices Sanjay Kumar and Satish Chandra Sharma passed the order after perusing the report filed by a medical board and directed Wadhawan to surrender within two weeks. The Delhi High Court on September 9, 2024 granted him bail on medical grounds saying Wadhawan fell within the parameters of a 'sick person'. The order came on an appeal filed by the CBI appeal against the high court order. Additional Solicitor General S V Raju, representing the agency, had earlier said said Wadhawan suffered from no serious medical ailments and huge amounts of money were siphoned off in the case. The Wadhawan brothers — Kapil and Dheeraj– were arrested in this case in July 2022. The agency filed a chargesheet in October 2022 following which a court took its cognisance. The FIR was registered on a complaint made by the Union Bank of India, which alleged DHFL, the housing finance company's then chairman-cum-managing director Kapil Wadhawan, then director Dheeraj Wadhawan and other accused entered into a criminal conspiracy to cheat the consortium of 17 banks led by the Union Bank of India, and in pursuance of the criminal conspiracy, the accused and others induced the consortium to sanction huge loans aggregating Rs 42,871.42 crore. Much of the amount was allegedly siphoned off and misappropriated by alleged falsification of the books of the DHFL and dishonest default in repayment of legitimate dues of the consortium banks, the CBI claimed.

Greater Noida Dead Woman Bank Account Credited With Baffling 36-Digit Money
Last Updated: When he visited the bank on Monday, officials confirmed the unusual credit but informed him that the account had been immediately frozen. A shocking incident from Dankaur, Greater Noida, has left authorities puzzled. A 19-year-old youth, Deepak alias Deepu, discovered that more than Rs 1.13 lakh crore had been credited to his dead mother's Kotak Mahindra Bank account. His mother, Gayatri Devi, passed away two months ago, but Deepak had continued operating the account. On Sunday night (August 3), he received a message showing an astronomical credit of Rs 10,01,35,60,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,23,56,00,00,00,00,299. Shocked, he shared the message with friends and asked them to count the zeros in disbelief. नोएडा में 20 साल के दीपक के कोटक महिंद्रा बैंक खाते में 36 डिजिट की धनराशि आई है। ये रकम 1 अरब 13 लाख 56 हजार करोड़ रुपए बैठती है। मेरा गणित थोड़ा कमजोर है। बाकी आप लोग गुणा-भाग कर सकते हैं। फिलहाल इनकम टैक्स विभाग जांच कर रहा है। बैंक खाता फ्रीज कर दिया गया है। — Sachin Gupta (@SachinGuptaUP) August 4, 2025 When he visited the bank on Monday, officials confirmed the unusual credit but informed him that the account had been immediately frozen. The Kotak Mahindra Bank team reported the matter to the Income Tax Department for investigation. Youth Turns Off Phone After Calls Flood In The Income Tax Department has launched an inquiry into the mysterious transaction. Officials are trying to find out how such an extraordinary amount was credited to an account belonging to a deceased person. Authorities suspect it could be a banking error, a technical glitch, or possibly linked to money laundering. A detailed audit of the transaction trail is being carried out. Bank officials have also started a parallel review to ensure no internal system failure caused the incident. The exact origin of the funds will only be known after the investigation is completed. Local Buzz and Social Media Reactions The incident quickly became a topic of conversation in Dankaur and on social media. Some users joked about 'instant billionaires," while others raised concerns about cybersecurity and banking safety. For Deepak, however, the experience has been overwhelming rather than joyous. With the account frozen and an investigation underway, he now waits for clarity on how such a massive sum appeared overnight. A Funny Calculation Amid the craze, an X user calculated how much each Indian would get if the money is divided among the whole country's population. 'Total rashi: 1,13,56,000 करोड़ रुपये = 1,13,56,00,00,00,00,000 रुपये. India ki population: 2025 ke hisaab se, India ki population lagbhag 140 crore (1,400,000,000) log hai, based on recent estimates," he said.

Yeh toh ek banda crore-pati ban jayega." view comments Location : Delhi, India, India First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
