ED Raids 35 Premises in Reliance Anil Ambani Group Probe
Imagine a company, RAAGA, is suspected of doing something wrong with money from a bank called Yes Bank.
The government agency, the ED, is checking to see if RAAGA moved money illegally, like hiding it or using it for something it shouldn't.
They are looking into a big loan from Yes Bank, and whether anyone at the bank was paid off to help get the loan approved.
The ED found issues like backdated paperwork and loans given out too quickly.
RAAGA says everything was done legally, but the ED is still investigating.
The ED is getting help from other agencies to figure out what happened.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids on 35 premises related to the Reliance Anil Ambani Group (RAAGA).
The raids are part of a money laundering probe linked to financial irregularities.
The investigation involves a loan of approximately ₹3,000 crore from Yes Bank between 2017 and 2019.
The ED is probing alleged bribes to bank employees to secure the loan.
