He is likely to be summoned again after a week, officials said. Sources in the know of the deposition said during the course of questioning Ambani claimed he was not aware of various transactions relating to the loan fraud case, which the ED investigators put to him. Ambani said he needed to check the details and respond accordingly, they said, adding that his two key executives, Amitabh Jhunjhunwala and Sateesh Seth, are going to be questioned later this week.
