Former Reliance Executive Amitabh Jhunjhunwala Remanded to CBI Custody in Loan Fraud CasePreviousNext

Amitabh Jhunjhunwala, former Group Managing Director of Anil Ambani-led Reliance Communications, was remanded to CBI custody until June 5 by a special court in Mumbai in connection with an alleged bank loan fraud case.
