Key Takeaways
- Allegation of email exchanges between Epstein and Ambani raises eyebrows.

New Delhi, Nov 20 (NationPress) A new political scandal has emerged as activist-lawyer Prashant Bhushan alleged that there were "numerous emails" exchanged between convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and Indian tycoon Anil Ambani.
In a post on the social media platform X, Bhushan expressed that the two appeared to share a close relationship.
"Very intriguing! So many emails exchanged between Convicted Sex Trafficker & Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and our very own Bank Fraudster Anil Ambani!" he remarked.
"They seem to have been thick as thieves!" Bhushan added.
His comments come on the same day that the US took significant steps towards releasing thousands of pages of documents linked to Epstein.
On Wednesday (local time), US President Donald Trump signed a bill directing the release of files from the federal investigation into Epstein, who died in custody in 2019.
Trump stated that the Department of Justice had already provided nearly 50,000 pages of documents to Congress.
The bill passed through the US House of Representatives with a vote of 427-1 and was unanimously approved by the Senate.
This action followed intense discussions among lawmakers, who accused each other of obstructing access to the documents.
Trump has consistently denied any connection with Epstein, asserting that he expelled him from his club years ago and had "nothing to do with him."
Bhushan's assertion introduces an Indian dimension to the ongoing developments, linking Epstein to Anil Ambani, who is currently under investigation in India.
Earlier this month, Ambani failed to respond to two summonses issued by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) concerning a FEMA investigation related to the Jaipur-Reengus highway project.
The agency is probing allegations that around Rs 40 crore from the 2010 project awarded to Reliance Infra was diverted abroad via shell companies and sent to Dubai. ED officials suspect the trail may be part of a larger hawala network exceeding Rs 600 crore.
