NEW DELHI: The Anti Corruption Branch (ACB) of Delhi government has asked Reliance Industries Executive Director PMS Prasad to appear before it in a three-yearold case in which RIL is alleged to have conspired with then oil minister to raise the price of natural gas, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The ACB has asked Prasad to appear on October 9 for investigation that seemed to have been in limbo for more than a year with litigations challenging the agency’s authority to investigate. RIL declined to comment.
ACB had registered a case in February 2014 on the orders of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, alleging Mukesh Ambani, former oil ministers M Veerappa Moily and late Murli Deora, as well as former upstream regulator VK Sibal colluded to raise gas prices.
