“Anil Ambani is not a member of the Board of Reliance Infrastructure. He served the company for about fifteen years, from April 2007 to March 2022, only as a non-executive director, and was never involved in day-to-day management of the company,” the company said in a statement.

Earlier, the agency had recorded the statements of various persons, including some alleged hawala dealers, after which they decided to summon Ambani.
