Newly released U.S. House Oversight Committee documents show that Indian billionaire and  businessman Anil Ambani exchanged multiple emails with Jeffrey Epstein in 2017, including discussions on politics, travel and geopolitical developments.

One of the emails from March 30, 2017, shows Ambani forwarding Epstein a news report about a possible early visit by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the United States, adding only: “Info. BR, Anil.” Epstein responded with a caution: “India Israel Key – not for email.”

Additional chat logs from the same period show Ambani and Epstein discussing U.S. policy, travel schedules and Epstein’s academic network. In one conversation, Epstein claimed he ran “the most forward looking think tank at MIT and Harvard,” referring to work in advanced mathematics, artificial intelligence, genetics and robotics.
 



Public attention intensified after lawyer Prashant Bhushan flagged the communications on social media, calling it “very interesting” that the two men appeared to correspond frequently and describing them as “thick as thieves.” Bhushan referred to Epstein as a convicted sex trafficker and Ambani as a “bank fraudster.”

The Modi-related email was sent during a phase of active diplomatic planning between New Delhi and Washington, months before Modi’s landmark 2017 visit to Israel—the first by an Indian prime minister. 



Around the same time, Ambani’s Reliance Group had entered a major joint venture with Israel’s Rafael Advanced Defense Systems to manufacture air-defence and missile systems in India.

Epstein’s warning to Ambani to avoid discussing such issues over email has drawn scrutiny, though the documents do not clarify the reason.

However, there is also no indication in the released material that Ambani sought Epstein’s involvement in Modi’s travel plans or that the exchange influenced any government decision. The files contain no follow-up communication from Ambani after Epstein’s caution.

Epstein, who died in U.S. federal custody in 2019, maintained an extensive global network of political, academic and corporate contacts, many of whom appear across the newly released correspondence.
