Slamming claims that it poses a threat to oil and gas sector regulator V K Sibal’s life, the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani group today said it would file criminal proceedings against the Director General of Hydrocarbons (DGH) for “defamation and character assassination”.

“DGH’s allegations against ADA Group are irresponsible, absurd and baseless,” RNRL wrote to the home ministry, reacting to Sibal’s letter to the government wherein he had sought protection fearing threat to his life and his family members from the industrial house.

Reliance ADA Group challenged Sibal to bring on record anything to support his “wild allegations”, while adding that it would file criminal proceedings against DGH.

Sibal’s letter to the home and petroleum ministries on Tuesday coincided with ADAG moving the Supreme Court alleging a nexus.
