 Jai Anant Dehadrai's first argument is that the report has attempted to establish financial wrongdoing, or bribery, only by virtue of owning a stake that current SEBI Chairperson and her husband, Dhaval Buch held in the same offshore fund.

 Congress called upon the central government to act swiftly to address potential conflicts of interest within the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) after fresh allegations leveled by US short-seller Hindenburg Research against Sebi chairperson Madhabi Buch. The opposition party also said that the "seeming complicity of the highest officials of the land" can only be unraveled through the establishment of a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to fully investigate what it described as a "mega scam." Hindenburg Research, which has previously raised serious allegations against the Adani Group, issued a new blog post on Saturday targeting Sebi chairperson Buch. The post accused her and her husband of holding undisclosed stakes in offshore funds allegedly used in the Adani money laundering scheme. The research firm also criticised Sebi for its alleged lack of enthusiasm in pursuing investigations into Adani's purported web of shell companies based in Maurit...

  Dismissing the allegations made by Hindenburg Research as “baseless ”, Sebi chief Madhabi Puri Buch and her husband Dhaval Buch today said the US-based short-seller is resorting to character assassination in response to a show-cause notice issued by the regulator in the Adani controversy. “It is unfortunate that Hindenburg Research against whom SEBI has taken an Enforcement action and issued a show cause notice has chosen to attempt character assassination in response to the same,” the husband-wife duo said in a late night statement. Earlier on Saturday night, Hindenburg published a report on its website claiming that the Buchs had stakes in Bermuda and Mauritius-based offshore funds used by Gautam Adani's brother Vinod Adani “to amass and trade large positions in shares of the Adani Group”. “In the context of allegations made in the Hindenburg Report dated August 10,2024 against us, we would like to state that we strongly deny the baseless allegations and insinuations made in th...

Vice President Kamala Harris at a campaign rally in Glendale, Ariz., on Friday.Credit...Adriana Zehbrauskas for The New York Times     Aug. 9, 2024 Vice President Kamala Harris rolled into Arizona on Friday evening with the same political momentum that has infused her first swing across the country this week, drawing a crowd that her campaign estimated at more than 15,000 — her largest yet — in a Western state that not long ago appeared to be falling off the battleground map. Along with her newly minted running mate, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, Ms. Harris delivered a stump speech that is barely a week old, and yet familiar enough to an impassioned new following that some shouted her lines before she did. The rally was her fourth in four days with an...
