Anil Ambani, son of industrialist Anil Ambani and former director of Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group===Reliance Home Finance Limited (RHFL), was questioned by the India===Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for a second consecutive day in connection with an alleged Rs 228-crore bank fraud involving Union Bank of India. The CBI registered a criminal case against RHFL, its promoters, and directors based on a complaint from Union Bank of India, which alleged that RHFL did not repay credit, leading to its account being declared a Non-Performing Asset (NPA) in 2019 and a 'fraud' account in 2024. The investigation focuses on alleged diversion of funds and bypassing of due diligence norms for General Purpose Corporate Loans. RHFL reportedly owed Rs 5,572.3 crore to a consortium of 18 lenders. The Reliance Group is already facing probes by the India===Enforcement Directorate, with significant asset attachments.
