Indian conglomerate Adani Group said it is aware of an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) into bribery allegations against a “third party” but denied a relationship with it.

The denial comes on the heels of media reports that Adani Group and its founder, Gautam Adani, were believed to be involved in paying officials in India for favorable treatment on an energy project.
