Youth Congress Stages Protest Against SEBI Chairperson

Youth Congress workers protested outside the SEBI office demanding the resignation of SEBI Chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch due to alleged conflicts of interest. Despite denying the allegations, the controversy stems from a Hindenburg Research report suggesting delayed investigation outcomes involving Adani Group companies.

Youth Congress workers demonstrated outside the SEBI office in Mumbai on Monday, calling for the resignation of its chairperson, Madhabi Puri Buch, over alleged conflicts of interest.

Protesters carried placards and shouted slogans against Puri Buch ahead of a critical SEBI board meeting. This meeting marks the first since allegations against her surfaced.

The police detained and removed the protesters from the Bandra Kurla Complex. The protest was triggered by a report from Hindenburg Research accusing Buch of delayed investigative outcomes in cases involving Adani Group companies, a claim she and her husband have denied.
