ED Arrests Two Former Reliance Telecom Executives in Loan Fraud Money Laundering CaseNext

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested two former Reliance Anil Ambani Group executives, Sateesh Seth and Gautam Doshi, in connection with a money laundering probe linked to an alleged Rs 114.98 crore loan fraud involving the State Bank of India. Both were directors at Reliance Telecom Ltd. The ED obtained transit remand to transfer them to Delhi, where the case is registered. Seth, who left the group in 2025, was hospitalized before being produced in court via video conferencing. The investigation follows a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) complaint.
