On Thursday, March 19, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) began questioning Anil Ambani regarding a suspected bank fraud involving approximately Rs 2929.05 crores linked to the State Bank of India (SBI). This investigation was initiated following a complaint lodged by SBI against Anil Ambani and Reliance Communications Ltd.
