According to sources, Abhishek Banerjee was called for questioning in the money laundering case related to teacher recruitment scam and coal scam. Even before this, ED had summoned him, but he had expressed his inability to appear citing health reasons.

Money Laundering Case: Tina Ambani, wife of Reliance Group Chairman Anil Ambani and former actress, did not appear before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday. He was issued summons for the second time in a case related to money laundering. The first summons was sent on February 10, but after it remained absent, the agency issued a fresh notice.

ED summons ignored for the second time

According to news agency PTI, at present it is not clear whether he has given any reason to the investigating officer for not appearing or not. According to officials, ED may give him a new date for questioning. PTI has quoted sources as saying that Tina Ambani is to be questioned regarding money transactions related to the purchase of a luxury residential property located in Manhattan, New York.

This case is related to an asset sale allegedly held in 2023 during the corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP) of Reliance Communications (RCom). The agency had earlier alleged that the property was sold “fraudulently”. It is said that RCom had informed the stock market about this alleged sale in 2025.

What is the whole matter?

According to ED, when Tina Ambani will be present to record her statement, her statement will be recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). At the same time, Anil Ambani has been asked to appear for the second time on Wednesday in connection with the investigation into various companies of ‘Reliance Group’ and the bank loan cases related to them. He had earlier appeared before the ED in August 2025. This matter is currently under investigation and the agency will take further legal action.
