The Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) of Delhi government today sent a notice to senior officials of Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) and its partner Niko Resources Limited asking them to join the probe into the alleged irregularities in pricing of natural gas in KG basin.
According to a senior official, the notice has been served to P M S Prasad, Executive Director of Petroleum Division of Reliance Industries, and Larry Fisher, India head of Niko Resources Limited, under Section 160 of the CrPC (calling for a witness).
