Renewing its attack on Mukesh Ambani, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today alleged that some of his Reliance Group companies were involved in money laundering in connection with investments by a Singapore-based company.
Addressing a news conference here , AAP leader and senior advocate Prashant Bhushan also alleged that the UPA government did not even bother to investigate the matter and "showered one benefit after another" on Mukesh Ambani.
The Reliance Industries of which Mukesh Ambani is the Chairman rejected Bhushan's allegations that the FDI investments in some of its companies by the Singapore-based company Biometrix are "laundered monies" invested in this country.
In a statement, it said the allegations are highly "defamatory, false, irresponsible" and devoid of any merit or substance whatsoever.
These "false and baseless" allegation are being repeatedly made in the media and in judicial proceedings and have been already responded to, it said, adding an "orchestrated, politivally motivated" campaign is being fuelled against Reliance Industries.
