Embattled billionaire Anil Ambani Monday warded off a possible jail term as RCom cleared dues of a Swedish service provider at the eleventh hour with money received from elder brother Mukesh and his wife Nita, whom he thanked for standing by him in trying times and extending "timely support".
Anil's heavily debt-laden Reliance Communications made a ?550 crore payment, including interest, to Ericsson just a day before expiry of the deadline set by the Supreme Court to clear dues or face a three-month jail term.
In a statement, RCom said ?550 crore dues to Ericsson, including interest dues, has been made in compliance with the Supreme Court judgment.
