Hindenburg's Fresh Allegations Against SEBI Chairperson US short-seller Hindenburg Research has escalated its accusations against the Adani Group by targeting SEBI Chairperson Madhabi Buch and her husband, Dhaval Buch. The short-seller alleges that the Buchs were involved in offshore funds linked to the Adani Group, suggesting a potential conflict of interest. These funds, according to Hindenburg, were instrumental in the alleged money siphoning scandal. The report has sparked a political uproar, with opposition parties demanding a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe into the matter. They argue that the new allegations cast a shadow over Buch's meetings with Gautam Adani in 2022. However, the Buchs have vehemently denied all charges, labeling them as a character assassination attempt. They claim their investments were made as private citizens and were unrelated to Madhabi Buch's role at SEBI. The controversy has intensified the scrutiny on SEBI's handling of the Adani-Hindenburg matter, with both sides trading accusations and counter-accusations.
