/ NEW DELHI: CBI Friday questioned Jai Anmol Ambani in connection with their ongoing investigation into an alleged Rs 228 crore bank fraud involving Reliance Home Finance Ltd. (RHFL). The son of industrialist Anil Ambani appeared at the CBI head office in Delhi, where he was examined by investigating officers for around six hours. Following the lengthy session, officials directed him to appear again on Saturday for further questioning as the agency continues to probe the alleged financial irregularities, an agency spokesperson said. The case, which was formally registered on Dec 6, 2025, names RHFL, Jai Anmol Anil Ambani, former CEO Ravindra Sudhalkar, and several public servants and individuals.Israel Iran WarUS-Israel-Iran War News Live Updates: Israel says struck over 200 targets in Iran; drone hits residential apartment in Beirut’About to surrender’: Trump makes big claim on Iran, says US ‘got rid of a cancer threatening us all’2 Indians killed, 10 injured in Iranian drone attack in Oman, says MEA The legal action originated from a complaint by Union Bank of India (formerly e-Andhra Bank) alleging criminal conspiracy, cheating, and criminal misconduct that resulted in a loss of Rs 228 crore. While the RHFL account was classified as a Non-Performing Asset (NPA) in Sept 2019, it was officially declared a “fraud” account on Oct 10, 2024, the agency said. The scope of the investigation extends beyond a single bank, as RHFL reportedly owed a total of Rs 5,572.3 crore to a consortium of 18 banks, financial institutions, and corporate bodies. Friday’s questioning follows a series of raids conducted on Dec 9, 2025, in Mumbai. Investigators previously searched the official premises of RHFL and the residences of both Ambani and Sudhalkar, seizing several incriminating documents.

. NEW DELHI: Suggesting a major reboot in agricultural policy, Supreme Court Friday asked the Union govt to deliberate with domain experts and stakeholders to devise a remunerative framework to encourage farmers to shift from traditional wheat and paddy crops to pulses. During the hearing on a PIL questioning the govt’s wisdom in importing yellow peas initially without import duty, which at present is pegged at 30%, additional solicitor general N Venkataraman told a bench of CJI Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi that shortfall of 30 lakh tonnes in production of pulses between 2021 and 2024 had forced govt to import yellow peas to stabilise prices and guard consumer interest.Israel Iran WarUS-Israel-Iran War News Live Updates: Israel says struck over 200 targets in Iran; drone hits residential apartment in Beirut’About to surrender’: Trump makes big claim on Iran, says US ‘got rid of a cancer threatening us all’2 Indians killed, 10 injured in Iranian drone attack in Oman, says MEA CJI Kant, hailing from a farming family, said the govt provided minimum support prices (MSPs) for wheat, rice and millets but not for pulses. “The moment you make sure farmers get remunerative MSP for pulses, whose production from a given area is less compared to paddy or wheat from the same area, the production will automatically increase. Otherwise, small farmers would not risk growing pulses as they are not sure whether it would fetch them the cost of investment and labour,” said CJI Kant. “Please ask your agriculture ministry to consult those who understand the pulse of farmers and not foreign degree holders,” he said, adding that not only guaranteed price for pulses but a guaranteed place for sale of pulses grown by farmers would have to be provided in the policy to encourage increase in pulse cultivation. Appearing for the petitioner, advocate Prashant Bhushan said the CJI’s views were reflected verbatim in the recent report of the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP), a statutory body attached to the agriculture ministry which recommends MSP for 22 crops and fair and remunerative price (FRP) for sugarcane. In its order, the bench said, “Different ministries of Union govt need to have better coordination and understanding and establish a mechanism under the aegis of ministry of agriculture and farmers welfare to promote pulses as a substitute of wheat or paddy in northern and central India and as a substitute for some other crops in southern India.” “In the absence of an incentivised MSP for pulses, the price offered should be sufficient to meet the expenses of small farmers growing pulses,” the SC bench added.tnEnd of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos‘Would Never Recover’: Rajnath Singh Warns Pakistan, Cites BrahMos Strike In Op SindoorPM Modi Invokes Nehru To Accuse Congress Of Spreading Misinformation During US-Iran War CrisisMajor Diplomatic Win For India: Iran Envoy Fathali Signals Safe Passage For Indian Ships At Hormuz2 Indians Killed, 10 Injured In Oman Drone Attack; MEA Shares Latest On Citizens In GulfWhite House Tug-Of-War Over How To Declare Victory; Is Putin The Biggest Winner In Iran War?TMC Bid To Meet President Murmu Gets Snubbed By Rashtrapati Bhavan After Protocol ControversyAs LPG Shortage Panic Spreads, Centre Urges Citizens Not To Hoard Cylinders And Opt For PNGMenstrual Leave Debate Explodes As Supreme Court Warns Of Hiring Bias Against Women’Glad India Taking Initiative’: Cong MP Shashi Tharoor Lauds PM Modi’s Outreach To Iran PresidentEAM Jaishankar Holds Fourth Call With Iran Foreign Minister Amid Rising Strait Of Hormuz Tensions123Photostories10 ways to add Moringa to your daily meals in March and why it’s the perfect timeFrom undergoing seven painful IVF procedures to a pregnancy photoshoot before her miscarriage, Sambhavna Seth opens up about her difficult IVF journeyHow to identify sweet coconut water before buying a coconut6 easy kitchen hacks to clean gas burners and reduce LPG wastageQueues, panic and pressure: How Middle East tensions triggered India’s LPG alarmChef Sanjeev Kapoor shares how to recreate the most searched recipes at home5 luxury cars with massaging seats that make long drives relaxingEating too fast may be hurting your digestion and weight: Doctors explain the 20-minute ruleChefs share 5 tips which can make any boring meal super tasty7 Indian meals that require very little LPG to cook123Hot PicksGold Price PredictionIndian RupeeStock Market TodayGold rate todayIncome Tax CalculatorPublic holidays March 2026Bank Holidays MarchTop TrendingPatrick MahomesBrittany Mahomes Net WorthWilt ChamberlainMovsar EvloevMichael BispingLPG Crisis IndiaMadison Pettis GirlfriendIran US WarIPL 2026 Chennai Super KingsMiddle East War

. NEW DELHI: Frowning at an advocate’s repeated attempts through PILs to seek paid two-day monthly menstrual leave for female workers, Supreme Court said Friday that such a move could create a psychological barrier among women that they are inferior to men as they can’t work when they are menstruating. A bench of CJI Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi said, “Please understand the long-term impact of such a move. Affirmative action for women is constitutionally recognised. The more unattractive the human resource, the less is the possibility of consumption in the job market.” “We can adjudicate it from the rights’ perspective.
