CFO and Executive Director of Anil Ambani Company Linked to Reliance Power Arrested

1. M/s Biswal Tradelink Pvt. Ltd. (Odisha-based), its directors, and associates are found engaged in issuance of fake Bank Guarantees against a commission of 8%.

2. Preliminary investigation indicates that the group has also facilitated fake bills for commission.

3. Multiple undisclosed bank accounts have been detected. Suspicious transactions of crores of Rupees found in these bank accounts.

4. The company is a mere paper entity – its registered office is a residential property belonging to a relative. No statutory company records were found at the address.

5. Suspicious financial transactions with multiple companies have been traced.

6. Key individuals of the group are found using the Telegram application with “disappearing messages” enabled, indicating attempts to conceal communication.

7. In a related matter, evidence seized earlier (during searches on 24.07.2025 in the case of Anil Ambani group companies) has direct linkage with the present investigation.

8. A Bank Guarantee of ₹68.2 Crore submitted to Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited (SECI) on behalf of M/s Reliance NU BESS Limited / M/s Maharashtra Energy Generation Limited has been established as fake.

9. In an attempt to prove that this fake bank guarantee is genuine, the group used a spoofed email domain. To create a facade of genuineness- instead of sbi.co.in, the domain s-bi.co.in was deployed to send forged communication to SECI, impersonating SBI.

10. ED has sought domain registration details of s-bi.co.in from the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI).

On the arrest, Reliance Power, in a statement said, “Disclosure under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (‘Listing Regulations’) read with Para A of Part A of Schedule III of the Listing Regulations and the SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/PoD2/CIR/P/0155 dated November 11, 2024.
