Overview
- Garg was arrested on January 29 under the PMLA and produced at Rouse Avenue, where the court ordered nine days of custodial interrogation.
- The money-laundering case follows a CBI FIR dated August 21, 2025 alleging conspiracy, breach of trust and cheating tied to large loans taken by Reliance Communications and group entities.
- ED filings allege loan proceeds were used to buy a Manhattan condominium that was sold during RCom’s insolvency, with $8.3 million routed via a sham Dubai arrangement controlled by a Pakistan-linked individual without the resolution professional’s consent.
- The agency’s remand note claims diverted funds covered personal expenses, including about $40,486 in US college fees for Garg’s daughters and other routed sums.
- Investigators say they have attached investments in the name of Garg’s wife and are tracing beneficiaries and overseas remittances as the probe advances, while his counsel argues he lacked day-to-day control in later years.
