CBI Files Case Against Anil Ambani's Son
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a criminal case against Jai Anmol Ambani, the son of industrialist Anil Ambani, and Ravindra Sudhalkar, the former CEO of Reliance Home Finance Ltd (RHFL).
The case involves allegations of fraud and misappropriation of funds amounting to Rs 228.06 crore from Union Bank of India.
