Congress MP Manish Tewari criticised the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on January 03 for its sluggish approach in investigating the allegations made in the Hindenburg report against Adani Group. Raising concerns on the delay, Tewari pointed out that the Hindenburg report came out a year ago and alleged that SEBI has been delaying it since then. “The fundamental fact remains that the Hindenburg report came into the public domain exactly one year ago and since one year, SEBI has been dragging its feet on the allegations made in the Hindenburg report,” the Congress MP said while speaking to ANI. He emphasised on the sensitive nature of the matter and expressed dissatisfaction over SEBI’s attitude. “If on a matter as sensitive as this, it takes one year to even complete an investigation, it just goes to show how lackadaisical the attitude of SEBI is,” Tewari said. “If SEBI wanted, it could have completed the investigation a long time back and we repeatedly raised this matter even in the Parliamentary Standing Committee of Finance,” he added. Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court declined to transfer the probe from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to a Special Investigation Team (SIT) or CBI into the Adani-Hindenburg issue.
