- According to Singapore records, Madhabi Puri Buch had a 100 percent stake in Agora Partners Singapore as of March 2016, 2022. That means while being a full-time member of SEBI. Madhabi Puri Buch transferred her shares to her husband's name two weeks after becoming the chairperson of SEBI.

Rahul Gandhi said, "The savings of millions of people are at risk, so this matter should be investigated."

According to Rahul Gandhi, "This raises three big questions. First, why did Madhabi Puri not resign even after the allegations?"

"Second, God forbid, if something goes wrong in the market and investors have to lose their money, then who will take responsibility for it, SEBI Chief, Prime Minister Narendra Modi or Adani."

"Third, this matter is already in the Supreme Court, now after serious allegations, will the Supreme Court take suo motu cognizance in this matter as well?"

Rahul Gandhi said, "Now it is becoming clear why PM Modi is afraid of getting this entire matter investigated by a joint parliamentary committee."

Pawan Khera alleged, "This is the company in which Gautam Adani's brother Vinod Adani also has an investment. So when everything is out in the open, the question arises that when Madhabi Puri Buch was made the head of SEBI, did the Government of India not know this?''

Taking a direct dig at the Prime Minister of India Modi in this whole matter, Pawan Khera said, "If the government was not aware of the matter, then it is a big failure and mistake. If it was aware, then the Prime Minister himself is a part of this conspiracy. That is why what Rahul Gandhi had said at that time Chowkidar... that has been proved.''

Congress has issued a statement regarding the new report released by Hindenburg Research. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has tweeted the statement.

What did Trinamool Congress and Mahua Moitra say on Hindenburg's report against SEBI Chief?

Sunday, 11 August 2024

The American organization Hindenburg Research has released a report and surrounded the chairperson of the capital market regulator SEBI in India.

A round of rhetoric has started in Indian politics since the release of Hindenburg's report.

On the report issued by Hindenburg against the SEBI chairperson, TMC leader Mahua Moitra has questioned the credibility of SEBI by posting on social media.

Mahua Moitra has written that 'SEBI chairperson being an investor in the Adani Group is both a conflict for SEBI and an occupation of SEBI. Samadhi Cyril Shroff is in the Corporate Governance Committee. It is no surprise that all the complaints sent to SEBI go unheard.'

Mahua Moitra has written in another tweet that any investigation being conducted by SEBI on Adani under the leadership of this chairperson cannot be trusted. After this information is made public, the Supreme Court should reconsider its decision.

Mahua has said that even the chairperson of SEBI is an investor in Adani's group. Tagging the CBI and ED, she has written whether you people will file POCA and PMLA cases or not.

The Trinamool Congress has demanded the resignation of SEBI chief Madhabi Buch.

The TMC spokesperson said, "In view of the pending investigation under the supervision of the Supreme Court, the SEBI chairman should be suspended immediately and a lookout notice should be issued at all airports and Interpol to prevent her and her husband from leaving the country."

Big disclosure in Hindenburg report: Big allegation on SEBI chairperson

What is in Hindenburg's report?

Sunday, August 11, 2024

The Hindenburg Research report states that the SEBI chairperson has stakes in offshore companies that were used in the alleged financial irregularities of the Adani Group.

It states that till date SEBI has not taken any action against Adani's other suspicious shareholder companies which are operated by India Infoline's EM Resurgent Fund and India Focus Fund.

The report states that due to this conflict of interest of the SEBI chairperson, the transparency of the market regulator has become questionable. Concerns are being raised in the report about SEBI's leadership.

Hindenburg has said that the offshore funds that have been involved in the financial irregularities of the Adani Group are quite vague and have complex structures.

The report has raised questions on Madhabi Puri Buch's personal interests and her role as the head of the market regulator. Hindenburg Research has said that the investigation conducted by SEBI regarding the Adani Group should be thoroughly investigated.

Hindenburg Research has said that according to the documents it has received from the whistleblower, a few weeks before his appointment to SEBI, Madhabi Puri Buch's husband Dhawal Buch had emailed Mauritius fund administrator Trident Trust. It mentioned his and his wife's investment in the Global Dynamic Opportunities Fund.

Hindenburg's report said that before Madhabi Puri Buch became SEBI chairman, her husband had requested that he would operate the joint account. This means that he wanted to remove all the assets from his wife's account before Madhabi Puri Buch became SEBI chairman.

Since the post of SEBI chairman is politically very sensitive, her husband might have taken this step.

Hindenburg's research report says, "The account dated 26 February 2018 addressed to Madhabi Puri Buch's personal email contains the complete structure of her fund. The name of the fund is "GDOF Cell 90 (IPEplus Fund 1)". This is a Mauritius registered fund 'cell' which was part of the complex structure of funds used by Vinod Adani."

Hindenburg has said that at that time, the total share of Madhabi Puri Buch's husband Dhawal Buch in that fund was $ 872762.65.
