SEBI's X account locked after Hindenburg report
New Delhi: The official X account (formerly Twitter) of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has been locked following the release of a report by Hindenburg Research. This report accuses SEBI Chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch of having investments in foreign funds allegedly used by the Adani Group to manipulate its share prices.
This incident comes about a year and a half after Hindenburg Research initially accused industrialist Gautam Adani of financial misconduct. The new allegations suggest that Buch's investments were part of the same strategies that purportedly boosted Adani Group’s stock values.
The locking of SEBI's X account has generated widespread discussion. One user, @mr_mayank, commented, "SEBI has locked its Twitter Account after getting exposed by the latest #HindenbergReport. Meanwhile, both Adani & his bff are reportedly in panic mode. Planning to flee soon?"

Michael B Jordan wins best actor for ‘Sinners', taking home his first Oscar
Los Angeles (AP): Michael B Jordan has been building toward a performance like “Sinners” for over 20 years. Now he has the best actor Oscar as his reward.
Jordan got one trophy for playing identical twins Smoke and Stack in the blues-seeped supernatural horror film set in 1930s Mississippi that earned a record 16 Academy Award nominations.
Last year's winner, Adrien Brody, announced Jordan's name Sunday night, setting off a wild celebration inside the Dolby Theatre. Teyana Taylor, a supporting actress nominee, joined the standing ovation, mouthing, “Yes!”
“Whew, man,” Jordan said, clutching the trophy.
Jordan is the sixth Black man to win the best actor trophy. He joins Will Smith (“King Richard”, 2020), Forest Whitaker (“The Last King of Scotland”, 2006), Jamie Foxx (“Ray”, 2004), Denzel Washington (“Training Day”, 2001) and Sidney Poitier (“Lillies of the Field”), who was the first in 1963.
“I stand here because of the people that came before me — Sidney Poitier, Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, Jamie Foxx, Forest Whitaker, Will Smith,” he said, “and to be up amongst those giants, amongst those greats, amongst my ancestors, amongst my guys, thank you everybody in this room and everybody at home supporting me over my career.”
Jordan added, “I know you guys wanted me to do well and I want to do that because you guys bet on me, so thank you for keep betting on me. I'm going to keep stepping up, and I'm going to keep being the best version of myself I can be.”
The other nominees were Timothee Chalamet in “Marty Supreme”, Leonardo DiCaprio for “One Battle After Another”, Ethan Hawke of “Blue Moon” and Wagner Moura in “The Secret Agent”.
Chalamet had been the early Oscar favourite after wins at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards. But Jordan surprised himself by winning at the Actor Awards, giving him momentum in the final days of Oscar voting.
“Sinners” reunited Jordan and writer-producer-director Ryan Coogler. They go back to their first collaboration in 2013.
“You're an amazing person,” Jordan told Coogler from the stage. “You gave me the opportunity and space to be seen.”
Jordan's breakthrough film role came in Coogler's “Fruitvale Station” for which he received critical praise playing a real-life man who was killed by police. It was Coogler's directorial debut, and they followed with “Creed”, “Black Panther” and now “Sinners”.
Jordan's initial acting success came in television. He had a small yet pivotal role in “The Wire” in 2002, followed by the daytime drama “All My Children”, in which he replaced Chadwick Boseman, and “Friday Night Lights”.
He and Boseman later acted together in “Black Panther” and were close friends until Boseman's death from colon cancer in 2020. Jordan dedicated his acting award from this year's NAACP Image Awards to Boseman.
Jordan, a 39-year-old who also produces and directs, was born in Santa Ana, California, and grew up in Newark, New Jersey.
In a pop-culture moment, he was named People magazine's “Sexiest Man Alive” in 2020.
