TL;DRThe CBI carried out surprise raids in Mumbai at premises linked to industrialist Anil Ambani and his company Reliance Communications (RCOM). This is tied to a massive bank loan fraud where SBI reportedly lost over ₹2,000 crore (some estimates say even ₹2,929 crore). Earlier, the ED had also probed Ambani’s firms for suspected money laundering. Now the net is tightening further.
What’s Happening?
The CBI has registered an FIR against RCOM and Anil Ambani. The allegation is that the company took huge loans from banks but defaulted, leaving public sector banks burdened with losses.
The Raids
Raids were carried out at six different locations in Mumbai.
These included Anil Ambani’s own residence.
Officials seized important documents and digital records to trace fund movements.
The Money Trail
SBI alone is said to have lost over ₹2,000 crore.
Some sources claim the actual figure could be as high as ₹2,929 crore.
This adds to earlier controversies surrounding Ambani’s businesses.
Earlier ED Moves
Before this, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) raided 35+ places linked to Anil Ambani.
Over 50 companies were scrutinised, and 25 people questioned.
The probe focused on loans worth nearly ₹3,000 crore from Yes Bank, which were allegedly diverted. #MoneyLaundering #YesBank

Why It Matters
When such big loan defaults happen, it’s not the billionaires who pay the price. It’s the common people whose money lies in banks. Higher service charges, stricter loan conditions, and reduced trust in the system — all fall on the public.
MediaFx Take
From a people’s perspective, this shows the huge gap in how banks treat the rich and the poor. Farmers and workers often struggle to get even small loans approved, while corporates get thousands of crores without proper accountability. If they fail, the losses are socialised and passed on to the public. The system must shift to protect public wealth, not just corporate tycoons.
