Lokpal seeks additional evidence for inquiry against SEBI chief
New Delhi: The Lokpal, chaired by former Supreme Court Justice AM Khanwilkar, has deferred action on two complaints filed against SEBI Chief Madhabi Puri Buch, stating that the Hindenburg Report alone is insufficient for initiating an inquiry. The Lokpal requested the complainants, including MP Mahua Moitra, to submit additional evidence and verify the authenticity of the report.
The complaints stemmed from allegations in the Hindenburg report that suggested a quid pro quo relationship between the SEBI Chief and offshore funds linked to the Adani Group. However, the Lokpal noted that the report's contents, without further substantiation, do not justify proceeding under the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 2013.
The Lokpal highlighted the need for foundational facts that demonstrate how the SEBI Chief's actions fall under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, and referred to a pending Supreme Court application related to the Hindenburg report. It further directed the complainants to explain their efforts to verify the report's credibility and ordered them to file affidavits outlining specific allegations.
The Lokpal has set the next hearing for October 17.
