NEW DELHI: Angarai Sethuraman , director of corporate affairs of Reliance Anil Ambani group , on Thursday did not appear before the Enforcement Directorate to face questions regarding the money laundering probe involving a few entities of the corporate group. Sethuraman has sought fresh dates.
The ED had conducted searches at his premises on Aug 13, along with those of others including Sandeepa Virk , a social media influencer, who was arrested later that evening by the agency for her alleged role in money laundering and for her purported claim that she could influence investigations into the charges against Anil Ambani group companies.
Searches on Sethuraman's premises were conducted after Virk was found to be in touch with him during ED's ongoing action against Anil Ambani companies. The agency had seized a number of digital records during searches on premises of Sethuraman and Virk. Some of the mobile phones seized are password protected and need to be analysed by the investigating team.
Sources said Sethuraman was also questioned, on his association with Virk and other issues briefly on the day of the searches. He, however, declined to comment on the summons issued to him by the agency.
As reported by TOI earlier, Virk, who was arrested in connection with a cheating case registered in Punjab, has been accused of impersonating officers of law enforcement agencies, duping individuals, and participating in a 6 crore fraud against complainant Jasneet Kaur, whom she got to invest in a film project.
